Hi,

> Where can I find the Driver and Soft for the Haupauge TV Card??

Step 1) You need to build a custom kernel.

At the end of your kernel file add the line
  device bktr0

then make a new kernel

Step 2) Make the device in /dev
type in the following commands as root.
  cd /dev
  sh MAKEDEV bktr0

Step 3) Reboot your PC.
You should see an entry for your Hauppauge card in the boot sequence
Check with dmesg.

Step 4) Watching TV
Use the program called FXTV.
It can be found in /usr/ports/graphics/fxtv


I have a report it does not build correctly and I have the patch to the
makefile
somewhere.

If it does not work, email me and I'll help out.

Bye
Roger


p.s. If your hauppauge card as the MSP34xx Stereo Decoder audio chip,
you may
get no sound when watching TV.
I should get this fixed in the next week or two.
