Hi Brett,<br>
<br>
Just to clarify - I meant DVB-T, this is the standard for
Terrestrial DVB. DVB-S is for Satellite broadcast services.<br>
<br>

successfully used an Avermedia a800 under several versions of
Linux. Its worked for me both here in australia and in the uk,
so I think the DVB-S standards are compatible. Unlike DAB.</p>

basic level you can use mplayer to play the card, but told
like myth TV give you a lot more features.</p>

<br>
Has anyone been successful in getting a TV Tuner to work with
Linux?<br>
<br>
The distribution with which I would be likely to run one, if I
can get<br>
one to work, would e Debian 6.<br>
<br>
In the Synaptic packages, in search for "tv tuner", I found
packages<br>
(the driver suite?) for the Silicon Dust HD Home Run dual
digitral TV<br>
tuner, but I do not know whether that one is compatible with<br>
Australian free to air television.<br>
<br>
Thank you in anticipation.<br>
