My card is a WinTV Nova and I'm using driver version 2002-01-16 on Suse-Linux 7.3 (kernel 2.4.10-4GB). My real problem is: I want to stream the received TV-Station. I've already tried some different methods of streaming (using the files provided by the DVBVideoLAN Project, using the dvbstream-0.3, using the Apple-Opensource-Streamingserver), but I never was able to get a picture on a Windows-PC in the LAN. (dvbstream works fine, but the output can only be viewed on a linux-machine). So I decided to use ffserver and ffmpeg. ffmpeg needs a tuned station on /dev/video, grabs it and sends the output to the ffserver, which streams it across the LAN (and I think ffserver can get its input only via http from ffmpeg). So i need a valid video-source at /dev/video. Do you know a solution for this problem?
