Did you get your tv card to work?? I'm almost ready to try. I had to
change to a different sound card since the new distros don't work
anymore with the Soundblaster AWE32 16bit isa PNP card. Been REAL busy,
but am very anxious to try to make it work. That is one thing that I
MUST make work before I will start using Linux full time. Any tips you
care to share?
