AFAIK, the HVR-900 is not "officially" supported under linux (not by the 
kernel).

Someone ist maintaining a driver, but it seems that that person has a clash 
with the developpers of the dvb-stuff in the kernel.

Here the link to the wiki about the driver, where you can find plenty of 
information:

I own one of these devices, and when I tryed to get it working, it 
conflicted with the ivtv drivers (on Ubuntu 6.06), so be careful.
