Hi,
I'm new to XBMC and I'm determined to get it working in a linux enviroment. I have IT background (mainly windows) so I should be OK at following instructions etc.
I downloaded XBMC Ubuntu Frodo 12 installed it and its been working fine, I've been impressed by the software I thought it was time to have a go at the TV PVR side as ultimatley I'd like a one stop media centre.
I've managed to download MythTV and install it with the SQL backend etc.
The issue I have is I can't get it to see my TV Tuner, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Before I shed out alot of money to buy a decent HD TV tuner I thought I'd buy a cheap one from eBay to begin to see how I get on with then upgrade later.
The TV tuner I have is a WinTV-HVR-1100-L.P. Hauppauge Low Profile PCI DVB-T
I've tried to test the card by following these instructions http://parker1.co.uk/mythtv_dvb.php but this doesn't seems to fail, the instuctions seem to suggest the card needs a firmware upgrade but I'm not having much success with that either.
Is anybody able to help? even remote desktop and take a look?
Thanks in advance
