Hi there,

I recently tried to get a tuner card working with IVTV on Ubuntu 6.06.
Unfortunately, IVTV isn't available as a package on Ubuntu, so I had to use
my modest Linux skills to get it installed. The HOWTO I used to set up IVTV
can be found here:
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu_Dapper_Installation#Hauppauge_15
0_.2F_250_.2F_350_.2F_500MCE

The card itself is a pull from a Seanix MCE machine. I'm not precisely sure
of the model as Seanix doesn't give specifics on its website. The Avermedia
chip on the card itself calls it an "M113-C", and the Conexant chip is
marked "CX23416-22". lspci lists the device as "Multimedia video controller:
Internext Compression In iTVC16 (CX23416) MPEG-2 Encoder (rev 01)". Included
below is the debug information from INIT IVTV:

Is it possible to get this card to work with IVTV? I appreciate any advice
you have on this matter.

Thanks,
