=== Airstar HD5000 === Support is included in the kernel, and thus no additional drivers are needed. === pcHDTV 3000, pcHDTV 2000 === Both the pcHDTV 2000 & 3000 are supported in the kernel, but need firmware to function. The firmware can be obtained as follows: 1) Obtain the firmware {{{ wget http://pchdtv.com/downloads/firmware.tar.gz }}} 2) Extract firmware {{{ tar xzzf firmware.tar.gz firmware }}} 3) Copy the firmware to /lib/firmware {{{ sudo cp firmware/* /lib/firmware }}} 4) Clean up after yourself {{{ rm firmware firmware.tar.gz }}} === ATI HDTV Wonder === The ATI HDTV Wonder is supported by the cx88-dvb DVB driver with the kernel, but needs firmware to function. The firmware can be obtained as follows: 1) Download this script. [[attachment:get_dvb_firmware]] 2) Make it executable. {{{ chmod +x get_dvb_firmware }}} 3) Run the script to obtain the firmware {{{ ./get_dvb_firmware nxt2004 }}} 4) Copy the firmware to /lib/firmware {{{ sudo cp dvb-fe-nxt2004.fw /lib/firmware }}} 5) Test the module {{{ sudo modprobe cx88-dvb }}} === DTV === For Europe, Australia, and anywhere else that the DVB standard is in use, Ubuntu and MythTV support a wide range of digital capture devices. DVB is already compressed, so much lower-end hardware can be used for the backend provided you don't want to transcode to make the recorded video even smaller. If the card is supported by the [[http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page|standard DVB drivers]], it's highly likely to be supported in Ubuntu.
