[ubuntu-uk] PCI Tv tuner cards

[David King]

After reading Linux Format magazine's review of TV cards earlier this 
year, I bought the TechnoTrend TT-1500, which is supposed to work with 
Linux, but so far I have not been able to get it to pick up anything at 
all, in Mythbuntu. Although I have now, I think, messed up the Mythbuntu 
installation on the PC and will have to reinstall it at some time. If I 
ever get it working, then I might recommend it, otherwise go with the 
other recommendations.
