TV on Ubuntu?

[Grizzly]

Hi G

If / When you find suitible software for this tell me because its the last 
thing I need before making the final jump to Ubantu, I do do what you want to 
do under windows (and without an outside arial, in the same area as you) I have 
not "YET" tried to run the windows driver/app under Wine, becaues Ubantu does 
not "seem" to see my PCI DVB-TV card, there are terestial & sat cards so 
whichever way you choose to go there is a card for you, I have not seen a USB 
Sat "dingle" but I bet there are a few

If you need any help (that will make a change its usually the other way :->) 
mail me
