tv tuner "Not Only Tv PCI Express Hybrid"
I really don't know what to do. Tutorials, advice or discusions I have found were about other tv tuner cards and not helpful at all, aven if the tuner card had the same chipset.
TVtime gives me a message that there is no such directory as /dev/video0.
There are no other elements with "video" in name in /dev/. It works great on WindowsXP but I never had it working on lany Linux.
device details:
"Not Only Tv PCI Express Hybrid"
model: LV8H
chipset: Conexant CX23885
it's both an analog and dvb-t tuner
system: Ubuntu 12.10 AMD64
when I use lspci -v it seems that the device is detected by the system.

someone adviced me this might contain useful information

Try this:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/50006...e-card-working
It seems to say the card is /dev/dvb
And it suggests a very recent kernel, which you might find in Xubuntu 12.10,
Re: tv tuner "Not Only Tv PCI Express Hybrid"
Using: ~$ tvtime --device /dev/dvb made no difference.
No such directory as /dev/dvb
ls /dev http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=Kpd3RGuL
also, I had Ubuntu 12.10 installed and the same problem. Will Installing Xubuntu 12.10 make any difference?
Re: tv tuner "Not Only Tv PCI Express Hybrid"
I'm pretty sure Ubuntu 12.10 and Xubuntu 12.10 use the same kernel. Was the kernel 3.5.5 or higher?
Re: tv tuner "Not Only Tv PCI Express Hybrid"
I've installed Xubuntu 12.10 (I wanted to try Xfce anyway) and "uname -r" says this:
3.5.0-19-generic
tvtime still not working.
No such directory as /dev/dvb
No such directory as /dev/video0

You could try "the cutting edge": http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/daily-live/current/
That's a very early version of 13.04.
