Try with this:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

Where do I type that in at? How do you get a command line to come up?

Open Applications then go to Accessories and click on Terminal
Then copy paste the line below and press Enter

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

That's the wrong code. That is for installing Java, Flash, and codecs for playing music.

Instead try this:

System > Administration > Hardware Drivers

Also what are you system specs, especially your graphics card.

Hi Im sorry for not helping with my answer, I have problem with drivers with my TV TUNER card Match I have tried with post but didnt get answer , my card is Match MpegTV-Station with TV FM and remote control and works with Conexant drivers in Windows XP SP2 and has a Philips chip PAL BG, I dont know what drivers to install for Linux.

Here is what I get with dmesg:

And with every program that I've tried I get message that I have no tuner card but in windows it works both with program from the manufacturer and with Win DVR 3 which is for recording from TV. I think that I need some drivers but I dont know which ones and where to find.

Can anyone help please

I cant figure it out, but do you have windows drivers for the same. Try using ndiswrapper for installing, but am still not sure whether it will work with ndiswrapper. Frankly, I dont have a TV Tuner card, so cant help much, only suggestions.
