Thanks for your response and the detail that you have put it, which is exactly what I need.

However, I have fallen at thec: first hurdle !

 When I type sudo apt-get install mercurial into Konsole I get a response 'E: Couldn't find package mercurial'
I've downloaded mercurial-0.9.5.tar.gz to the desktop, I've extracted the contents into folder on the desktop, what should I be doing with this now 

Thanks again for your help.

Installation issues / Newbie needs help with WinTV HVR 1100

« on: October 23, 2007, 01:53:37 pm »

I've recently taken the plunge and installed LinuxMCE from the Quick Install DVD and am very impressed so far with the ease of install of look of it all.  However I am a total newbie when it comes to Linux, I have been looking at doing the Online Linux Courses found at http://www.linux.org/lessons/ but haven't got around to it yet, well I've got new toys to play with !

I'm trying to get the system to detect my Capture Card, so I've gone into the MythTV backend Setup and then in Capture Cards selected New Capture Card.  The probed info shows as Hauppauge WinTV-HVR1100 DVB-T/H [cx8800] but I don't know what card type I should select from the drop down list.  I've tried quite a few of them, some of them scan when I goto Input Connections but return no channels.

Any help or advice would be very much appreciated, please remember that I am a total newbie to Linux but like what I see !

Thanks
Simon
