I am not sure if your card is the same as mine. The usbview program
shows mine as "WinTV Nova-DT" and the kernel reports "Hauppauge Nova-T
500 Dual DVB-T".
On FC5 the firmware is placed at:
$ ls /lib/firmware/dvb-usb-dib0700-01.fw
Try here:

Anyhow I am thinking that maybe I should use Fedora and If I could get
my USB tv card working in Fedora I would be happy
Works for me.
Does anybody know of a hardware compatability list for Fedora?
If not I am interested in whether I can get
Are you sure you are 'not' interested ?

What flavour of Fedora should I install?
I have FC5 but I am not sure if this makes any difference over say FC6.
The kernel is:
$ uname -rv
2.6.18-1.2239.fc5smp #1 SMP Fri Nov 10 13:22:44 EST 2006
I then have 'v4l-dvb-701bdd4ff669' built and installed. This is obtained
from:

Just follow the steps on the page.
