You need to get a copy of the ivtv kernel driver and load it. It is not part of the official kernel, and it is not packaged with Fedora Core. (As far as I know.)
Here's the main project site: http://ivtv.sourceforge.net/ I use version 0.2.0_rc3-r1 with kernel 2.6.8 (patched for VIA EPIA M10000-II). I am running gentoo though, so I can't help you too much with the Fedora Core side of things. ~Dan On Thu, 2005-05-19 at 00:53 -0400, Davin Desborough wrote: > I've used Freevo for quite a while, but I just now purchased a pvr-250 > and am trying to get tv watching working... it's not going well.
