MythTV Hardware Support

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.

Testing Procedure

Download and burn live disk.
- ```
download link
```
Boot up the live disk. Make sure that your important hardware is working (mouse, keyboard, video, sound). If you boot up to the Ubuntu Desktop and hear the login sound, your good to go.
Download the driver test script.
- ```
wget download link
```
Run the driver test script. This will provide you with options to install drivers for your supported card as well as the utilities to use them.
- ```
./record_test.sh
```
Report your results back to this wiki page. Please list the date of your test and your name and whether the card worked or not. If your card didn't work, please file a bug on launchpad using this link:
