Can anybody out there tell me what TV tuner card(s) actually work with Vector Linux 7.0, the one I have is a model SAA7130 and I can't seem to get it to work with Vector Linux 7.0, even  though I COULD get it to work under Windows. Although I DID recently purchase a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1950 usb tuner, which I have been trying to get to work with my system (it needs a package called "LinuxTV" which, unfortunately, isn't in the repositories as of yet ).

A bit late I know but I have a WinTV USB tuner and using tvheadend to tune in and stream channels plus xbmc to watch it from any computer/connected device in the house.
