I am not sure about MSI but I use WinTv Go and I guess if you have it installed you can either start up xawtv or tvtime and see if it works. You can also lsmod and see if the bttv module is loaded. That is of course if that is the module it uses. I'm just speaking from my experiences not as a guru. On Wed, 2004-09-29 at 14:44, bassix wrote:

If there is support for that chipset under Linux , then certainly you can use your TV Tuner Board under Linux ( for example am watching TV right now as i am writing this Email , using a Studio PCTV Pro Tuner Board , under Fedora Core 1 using Kernel 2.4.26 ).
