[linux-dvb] WinTV Nova-CI: How to watch TV?

[Daniel Kaminsky <danielkaminsky@web.de>]

Hello!

Today I bought a DVB-Card: WinTV Nova-CI. I checked out the latest version of 
the drivers (with cvs) and was able to compile them without any problems. 
Then I run "make insmod", which worked fine, too:
Sep 28 19:31:49 daniel kernel: Linux video capture interface: v1.00

But now I've got one question: How can I watch TV? I really have no idea. VDR 
won't work because this card has no output to TV...xawtv produces this error:
sh-2.05a$ xawtv -c /dev/ost/dvr
This is xawtv-3.76, running on Linux/i686 (2.4.19)
dlopen: /usr/local/lib/xawtv/conv-mjpeg.so: undefined symbol: 
jpeg_resync_to_restart
can't open /dev/ost/dvr: Operation not supported
v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway
v4l2: open /dev/ost/dvr: Operation not supported
v4l: open /dev/ost/dvr: Operation not supported
no video grabber device available

cat /dev/ost/vdr > test doesn't work too.

I've got one general question:
Is it possible to use this card under linux or am I wasting my time?

I hope anyone out ther can help me...
Thanks a lot in advance...

If these informations aren't enough I can mail more...


Regards Daniel
