Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-media-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: Hi, in an earlier post I was responded to that my old WinTV USB 1 Tuner would never work under Linux due to bad and complicated coding which (since no one uses that tuner anymore) will never be looked at. So I am in need of a new tuner! This is a dilemma as I need analog TV.... since I will be using it for watching stuff through a satellite receiver but also analog terrestrial TV too as where I will be taking it to doesn't have digital TV at best the have cable. I was considering going for the Hauppauge WinTV HVR-900HD. I am not sure if it will be compatible though with the global regions I will use it in which is UK that I know it has support for as I will buy from here which is PAL I but then also Turkey which I think is PAL Beta if I'm not mistaken?? More importantly though is it supported under Linux?? I use KUbuntu 9.04 which is pretty up to date. I am just a bit worried about this part since the site says that as of June 2008 there is no support... of course we are in August 2009 so maybe in a year it might have been integrated into the later kernels?? Taken from here: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-900H What's everyone's verdict? Any suggestions would be great! --Kaya
