I have been trying to install mythbuntu. As it stands I can only boot it with a rescue CD due to a 'grub' prompt but at least it starts (I can try & solve that later..one thing at a time)

I am trying to set it up as a TV. I have a Hauppage PVR150 (not Media Centre) but when I enter Capture Card Setup & select MPEG2 option & then /dev/video0 (information gleaned from various websites) , the probed info just states "Failed to open"

The card is fine by the way as I use it on an XP system on a physically separate drive in the same computer

Can anyone help with this please. I am new to Linux & at the moment it seems MUCH harder to deal with than Windows. It is incredibly frustrating as I've spent hours & gone down several blind alleys. I even, for the first time, thought about paid support but at the price quoted might as well buy W7. I'd like to solve it though as Mythbuntu seems ideal as a TV computer
