  1. Re:An example of what's wrong with linux on Can Ordinary PC Users Ditch Windows for Linux? · · Score: 1

    I'm going to help as this is my area of ... play. You need to get, somehow, a kernel that supports dvb. You could grab say the source for say 2.6.16 and build a kernel that supports dvb but it's a bit of a learning curve for a newbie. There has to be a dist kernel that does dvb, search for one. You will end up with a /dev/dvb directory if you have an approprite kernel.

      The pcHDTV card needs this interface to the kernel. This is probably why it does not work. I fool with the satellites myself but DVB-S,T and C all use the same kernel interface.

    I will get an expensive one. Then it'll get a piece of cat5 stuffed into it and one of the two nics on my Nforce4 board. Linux will go on the PS3 and I'll have to get a HDTV, one of those 32" Samsung CRTs probably, to stuff the HDMI output into. So $1200 - $1400 for my home theater. Cool.

      I get WiFi for whatever, Bluetooth ... well yeah, and a card reader, oh yeah and a Blu-Ray for both machines.

      This is gonna be fun, hell I might even get a few games. Free membership on Sony's game network ....
