[mythtv-users] Re: Pinnacle PCTV pro installation

[Jeff Gladnick]

I bought this one about 2 years ago.  I had also heard that the new ones didnt work.  I did consider just purchasing the pvr250, but I want to make sure I wouldnt just be having a new set of problems.  Did you use knoppmyth?  I was able to get everything installed properly with that, but just a blank screen when i try to watch video

 I am not experienced linux user and I too tried to get that card to 
work with linux. Seems to me that if it is new card (red one), the tuner 
is not supported by linux. I saw few patches and stuff for it when 
googling, but did not get them to work. Well, I got frustrated and 
bought Hauppage PVR 250 and I got mythtv up and running in 
one evening. 

I would like to know if you get the card working, I could try 2 card setup.
