Hi,

I bought a desktop from Pixmania, it's this
http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/uk/en/ho/WF06b/12454-12454-3329740-64546-64546-4011395-4038054.html

How do I make the TV tuner work?

Looks to me like it's already working.

Do you have a /dev/dvb/adapter0 dir with anything in it? if so see

Hey Phil,

I worked to him a bit on IRC yesterday.  The only reason that the
cx23885 was loaded was because he forced a modprobe with a card number
(with an arbitrary card, btw).

This looks like an Avermedia OEM version of the HVR-1200, but I would
not be able to say for certain without taking a good look at the card.

In order to get this working, a developer would probably have to work
through the driver to build a card profile.

Cheers,

Devin
