[mythtv-users] Pinnicale PCTV HD pci card

[Muppet Man]

Ok, I think I might be able to figure this out.  I downloaded the file that was attached.  I going to assume that I have to compile this, but after that, I am pretty lost.  Hopefully I can figure this out..

as wiki says:
"The chips used by this card are mostly supported by the linux V4L and
DVB drivers with the exception of the XC5000 which is being
developed."

I am not using ubuntu, but there are probably some packages with
modules for this card.

but I would download
http://www.linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/archive/tip.tar.bz2 (latest
repository checkout) and compile it: unpack the file, cd in the
unpacked folder, run make menuconfig, select corresponding modules or
all modules, exit the menu, run make && make install and reboot.
