Can anyone suggest a well supported TV tuner card for Linux ?
usualy there is a hardwarelist for supported hardware on www.suse.com they say, which products are supported, which not. the list is for everything, cpu´s boards, printer AND tv-cards!
I have been told that Brooktrout is the chip that I need. Also I am wondering what are the issues involved in setting up a PC for TV and Internet in the Lounge ? I would like to set up a Linux box with perhaps a large monitor but am not sure if it is feasable. A cordless keyboard would be good. Are these supported under Linux ?
At least SuSE 7.3 has with its yast 2 a very easy configure-tool for tv-cards. look at your yast, whethere it features tv-card config, or not. if yes it shouldn´t be a problem, otherewise i don´t have any clue. there are keyboards, they are cordless, butt their reciver has just a normal adapter for ps/2, which should work, because the ps/2 standard is used. (on USB i don´t know) large monitors are great!, as long as you can efford one with good quality (high values for horizontal and vertical refreshing-rate) I got a 17 inch monitor which cost more than other people pay for a 19 inch, but as the quality is great, and varrenty is also longer than the others, I think it was worth it. So, I hope this was not only blabla, but helpful. Markus
