I've been fighting for 'bout 2 week now and failing :(   MythTV (I  
think) is working..  I think the problem I'm having is getting Fedora  
to recognize my TV Card.  It comes up in lspci as an ATI Rage 128.   
It also have a coax port on it that is ignored.  I think I heard this  
card was a TV Wonder card (not that all-in-Wonder) but am not sure.   
ATI doesn't label anything...

I also have 2 usb TV tuners to try including an ATI USB (I've no idea  
what model/version) and MyTV2Go ('for Mac' sticker on back).  I was  
using debian with no success so I switched to Fedora after I found  
this tutorial on MythTV and Fedora online....

The TV program and MythTV both say "can't open /dev/video0".  Looking  
in /dev i see no video entries...    Are there drivers for these  
devices?  How do I find/install them?  I'm an advanced Mac OS X user  
and very comfortable with command line- but newish to linux.

Oh- and am I right that the card with the coax port on it is called a  
"capture card"?

   thanks
      Todd
