MythTV Hardware Support
Contents |
Current testing is for Feisty, due for release in April 2007. We would appreciate if you could download a daily live disk and test to see if your hardware is properly recognized and functional after installing the necessary drivers. You won't have to erase your operating system, or do anything to harm your backend. All testing will only be for the session that you are booted up.
TV Cards
These cards should all be supported by Ubuntu Feisty. If you have one of these cards and can verify it working, please fill it out below. Testing procedures for each of the cards are listed below as well.
