[mythtv-users] Hauppauge WinTV Nova-DT

[Brian May]

Hello,

Any hope of getting this PCI Card (yes ... PCI card ... really!) going
under Linux?

We purchased it any the mistaken impression this is the one that is
compatible with Linux.

Repeated messages like the following make me suspect the USB
functionality on this PCI card isn't working optimally:

...

This is with the card idle and not doing anything.
