iDunno was just trying to help me get it working and I'm now looking into the drivers at http://www.linuxtv.org which are supposed to support the card. I'm looking at using xine media player to watch TV and I'm also hoping to be able to stream the channels over my network so I can watch them on any PC in the house! If anyone has any experience of getting TV cards to run in Linux I'd love to hear from you as I'm struggling a bit at the moment.
I haven't tried getting a digital TV card to work with Linux - in fact I hadn't spotted that digital TV cards were available for PCs.
I have a hauppage card based on the BT878 chipset which wasn't hard to get working - you need the Video4Linux stuff enabled in the kernel and the specific driver for this one is bttv.
