Linux compatible?

Hello

I was wondering if my Hauppage WinTv NOVA-t pci was compatible with linux and if it was then were to get the software/ driver from.

Thanks

It sure is!
Its a bit of a battle, but Ive got 3 Nova-Ts working under Gentoo linux. You will need to patch a 2.6 kernel to enable the DVB drivers. Do some googling =)
I run MythTV, and Im looking to dual boot soon with XP/GBPVR/MCE to compare.
You can also network multiple "backends" and frontends. Its a fantastic piece of software, but not for beginners.

The reason I want to try GBPVR again is I have an MVP. Support for it is limited under linux, but I eventually got mythtv frontend running to play back recorded shows.

Give linux a go, I believe in trying all options Smile

(you will need plenty of time i.e. days probably!)
