Raphael, very helpful link . Thank you very much for your help. I am
definitely making progress although it still doesn't work.
Working from your link and following the Fiesty i**nstructions (I am
using 7.10 but everything seems to work) * *

I followed everything and now the PCTV HD USB device is recognized. I
was able to select "DVB DTV capture card" in the setup just as in the
reference above.
However, when I get to the screen that says "Play TV" it doesn't work.
It says that all my inputs are in use, or something like that. Same as
before I installed it.
I tried to do a channel scan, but it says "Failed to open the card" and
doesn't work.
I then tried the other link you referenced and installed Kaffeine but
again could not get any channels. Hitting Scan seemed to do nothing.
I guess I need more help...
