Digital TV tuner support

[Lyndon Drake]

I have a Hauppauge Nova-T digital PCI TV tuner card.  This card does not
currently work in Ubuntu (warty or hoary), as it requires patches from
the linux-dvb project [1].  The 2.6.11 image in hoary locks up on my pc,
but apparently even that kernel needs additional patches for the
relevant driver to work (it's the cx88 driver).  I tried and failed to
get the linux-dvb patches to merge with the ubuntu kernel source
package.

I wondered if one of the kernel package maintainers would be able to
have a go at merging the dvb driver patches?  I am very happy to be a
guinea pig for testing such kernels, as I currently have a completely
non-functional TV tuner.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Lyndon
