Hi, you should try option card=XX where XX are numbers taken from linux/Documentation to manually set card/tuner type. If it is DVB-T card with mplayer you play mplayer dvb://"name of channel" Best regards Michal Dne úterý 06 březen 2007 18:16 Florian Zwicke napsal(a): > Hi, > > my new notebook is equipped with a DVB-T card, and I fear there may be > no support for it on Linux, yet. > The notebook (ASUS A7CC-7S018C) was released about a month ago, and I > guess the hardware is about the same age.
