Is there a way for me to use my MSI TV@nywhere Master tuner (PCI) in Fedora?? I'd like to know if this is possible.
As George Petasis in his email indicates the answer to your question
depends on the chipset that your TV Tuner Board uses and whether video4linux is supported by the kernel you use . If there is
support for that chipset under Linux , then certainly you can use your
TV Tuner Board under Linux ( for example am watching TV right now as i am writing this Email , using a Studio PCTV Pro Tuner Board , under
Fedora Core 1 using Kernel 2.4.26 ).
In an effort to help a bit more from a console give the command
#lspci -vv
In the output of this Command check for something similar to the text bellow :
00:0c.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt848 Video
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is the Chipset .Capture (rev 12)
