Hello and Merry cristmas!

I have a hybrid usb tv tuner which has anolg and digital signal. I have it about 5-6 years now but I never use it because it didn't find how to make it work on linux. I had an older pinnacle pctv hybrid usb tuner and I was using it, but it's broke now. So I give another shot to the newer device.

Dmesg has the above output when I connect it:

The drivers built into the gentoo kernel linux-2.6.22-gentoo-r9 did not work, so a more recent set was required. You can download the latest v4l-dvb drivers from LinuxTV's V4L-DVB repo. Unpack, compile and install the drivers; more detailed instructions are listed on the website, but essentially the entail:

If you have problems, have a look at the kernel messages (dmesg) when you plug in the device and see if the drivers are loaded without any errors. Maybe you have another tuner built-in your PCTV USB2 device. So experiment withother settings for tuner or let the driver decide, what tuner to use by not specifying the tuner type in modprobe.conf. Good luck!

The PCTV USB Stick lives up to its name as it has a simple USB memory key design with a Coaxial TV antenna port on one end. You don't get a USB extension cable in the package, so if you want to distance the tuner and cable from your laptop you'll have to buy one.

Given Pinnacle's history as a video editing software company, you won't be surprised to learn the software package is Pinnacle's own MediaCenter application. This is a sizeable application that takes up 160MB of hard drive space and it looks very slick and impressive, but it's not without flaws.

You watch TV in the Pinnacle TVCenter and change the settings in a separate piece of software, though it's not possible to make changes to the settings while the TVCenter is running. If you're the type to make changes then this is annoying, but if you leave things alone then it is of no concern

Picture quality was very acceptable and, in the main, we were happy with the Pinnacle. However, we feel it makes sense to spend an extra few pounds to get both analogue and digital tuners. Anyone who is looking for a cheap and cheerful TV tuner should put the Pinnacle on their shopping list. Leo Waldock

People have been using computers for video capture and editing for years. After all, it's much easier to manipulate your footage when it's a digital file than when it's stuck on a tape where you have to fast forward and rewind to get to the good parts.

Choosing the right video capture card for your computer starts with the computer. As with any accessory, the first thing you have to do is make sure that the card can physically fit in your motherboard. First off, this means you need a desktop computer with room in the case for the expansion card and enough hard drive space to store the resulting files. Note that uncompressed analog video can take up a lot of storage capacity. Most internal cards use one of two interfaces:

The obvious answer to this question is that you need whatever inputs match your sources, but that's also a bit misleading. Many Pinnacle capture cards feature a breakout box that includes extra input, so you may not be limited to just the ones on the card. Breakout boxes are also popular because you don't have to reach around the back of the computer. Also, since most digital files can directly transfer to your computer without the need for a video capture card, you will primarily use it for analog inputs. There are three connectors you should consider:

Many PCI cards can use Pinnacle Studio software to capture video in the MPEG-1 format, which is about the same quality as VHS. Note that in order to record TV signals you need both an analog source and a TV tuner as the majority of cards do not come with digital video inputs beyond FireWire, which primarily appears on camcorders rather than TVs or cable boxes.

The USB HDTV stick has full support for both analog (NTSC) and digital (ATSC) reception, and if you happen to find yourself at home, you can connect this TV tuner to the outlet in your wall, receiving all the channels that you normally would through a conventional cable or satellite set top box. It basically transforms your computer into a TV through a coaxial cable.
