how's mandrake on tv tuning? I'm considering buying a tv tuner .. so I'm wondering if there is hardware support for stuff like this ... how well spread is it .. any chance of having a cheapest I can find tvtuner work? Any way to check on particular models? Is there software to go with tv tuners in mandrake? How good is it? Is it just tv tuning .. or does it suport recording at certain hours or something like that ?well .. I bought it ... it's an Xpert TV-PVR pci (does pvr mean something?) ... I can't intal xawtv ... it gives me "instalation failed, some files are missing" ... weird .. though I inserted the cds & stuff .. anyway .. I'll be trying it again soon with the 9.2 as soon as it becomes available for download. From what you guys are saying I could expect it to work ... but one thing I'm afraid of is that it might not encode into mpeg 2/4 as are it's hardware capabilities .. and I'd really like that ... still ... if it'll work ... well .. I'll brag about it to all my windows friends :)
greets & thanks,

PS: I have sad news ... I have re-started using windows ... I like using the remote that came with the tv tuner ... and I haven't been able to get one working in Linux ... I wish hardware manufacturers would work for Linux too :-( I'd like to be able to fully enjoy new hardware like my Palm & my recent Tuner in Linux too ... not with patched software ... but with hardware manufacturer, best there is drivers :(
