[05:13] <Angel_Of_Sorrow> hi all
[05:13] <Angel_Of_Sorrow> i have a quest
[05:14] <Angel_Of_Sorrow> i am trying to get a tv capture card working with linux... apparently my tv capture card works with mythbuntu?
[05:14] <Angel_Of_Sorrow> does that mean that i must be using ubuntu to use the card?

[05:50] <Angel_Of_Sorrow> i am trying to get a tv capture card working with linux... apparently my tv capture card works with mythbuntu?
[05:50] <Angel_Of_Sorrow> does that mean that i must be using ubuntu to use the card?
[05:50] <Angel_Of_Sorrow> will my tv card work outside of mythtv?
[05:57] <cfhowlett> Angel_Of_Sorrow, any LINUX distro should be capable of running the card.  mythbuntu makes it easy and convenient to configure and use the myth environment and services.
[05:58] <Angel_Of_Sorrow> ah ok
[05:58] <Angel_Of_Sorrow> have you gone through the proceedure involved before?
[05:59] <cfhowlett> Angel_Of_Sorrow, nope. sorry.  I've only read about it.
[05:59] <Angel_Of_Sorrow> it seems very involved... and im not sure i have the right card for starters...
[06:00] <cfhowlett> Angel_Of_Sorrow, I believe there's a mythbuntu forum as well
[06:01] <cfhowlett> http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=301
[06:02] <Angel_Of_Sorrow> the problem is is that i choose to use opensuse
[06:03] <cfhowlett> Angel_Of_Sorrow, then mythbuntu is going to be of little use to you.  you'll have to install and configure everything on your own.
[06:04] <Angel_Of_Sorrow> how easy is mythbuntu to set up
[06:04] <Angel_Of_Sorrow> im considering crossing platforms
[06:05] <cfhowlett> http://www.mythtv.org/
[06:06] <cfhowlett> As I said, never done it.  But if I was going to make the attempt, I'd certainly NOT choose to do a "roll your own" when there's a readily available alternative.  Just my thing ...
[06:07] <Angel_Of_Sorrow> i much prefer suse
[06:07] <cfhowlett> but if you have experience setting up suse, then you'll have some understanding of setting up ubuntu.  Expect a learning curve ...
[06:08] <cfhowlett> As I said, choices ... unless suse provides a myth server variant ...
[06:08] <cfhowlett> what is it specifically about suse that you prefer?  perhaps we can replicate it ...
[08:23] <Angel_Of_Sorrow> can you help me choose a new tv capture card for mythtv pls?
[08:27] <Angel_Of_Sorrow> does anyone have a link to help me find out if my tv card is supported by mythtv?
[09:44] <Angel_Of_Sorrow> can anyone recommend a site where they list which tv capture cards work with the latest mythbuntu?
[09:52] <Angel_Of_Sorrow> ?
[10:34] <Angel_Of_Sorrow> can anyone recommend a card that works with mythtv?
[11:40] <Angel_Of_Sorrow> can anyone recommend a card that works with mythtv?
