The Toshiba Windows driver for the TTV500x is here: http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/support/downloads/driver_tv_tuner_25836A.exe But first read the Toshiba EULA for the driver here: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_navShell.jsp?cf=su_eula.html&pf=true -Andy _______________________________________________ ivtv-devel mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-devel
