Welcome to the LinuxTV Wiki !

This wiki is intended to become an authoritative source of information regarding the use of analog video and digital TV sources under Linux -- i.e. the subject matters covered under the LinuxTV umbrella/framework. The basic plan is to aggregate information about: available hardware; how v4l or dvb work; software used with the hardware and so forth.

Like all other wikis, the LinuxTV wiki relies upon the contributions of its users. Hence, it will only be as useful as we make it! So we encourage you to share your knowledge and help with the task of turning this site into a repository of knowledge. Your input (whether it be by providing a set of instructions for how to get a certain device working; a minor improvement to an existing article; or an explanation for some complex concept) will be highly appreciated.

Or asking your unanswered question on the mailing lists (v4l mailing list and [DVB mailing list]). Don't leave your question on the wiki -- ask on the mailing list!
More immediate help may also be sought on the relevant irc channel (hosted on irc.freenode.net). See:

  • the #v4l irc channel (for analog device discussion)
