First and foremost I am completely new to linux and mythtv so please forgive me if I have missed something obvious.

I have read all the posts I can find, but they seem to pertain to the TV Wonder Pro or TV Wonder VE and don't resemble (not yet anyway) my problem. I know the card works because I had Windows installed and working with the ATI media center (whatever it is called) before I saw all the great features that MythTV has.

The problem, it seems, is that while the card is "seen" and has an irq, it is not recognized by knoppmyth, as if it doesn't know what driver to use.

My System
Motherboard: Abit AN7 Nvidia Nforce2 Ultra400
TV Tunder : ATI TV Wonder Elite
Video Card: Nvidia MX440 64MB memory
Memory: 1.2GB (2 x 512MB + 1 x 256MB)
CPU: AMD Athlon XP 2500
HD: Seagate Barracuda 300GB 7200RPM SATA

Here are some results of commands I have found along the way (cut down to just the important stuff, hopefully)

I hope that this is enough info for now. Just let me know if I need to run anything else. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

No luck, I even did a fresh install and tried it.

Is there any way I can force the bttv driver to load for the tv tuner?

After having a quick google, using the Elite for capture does not look promising. ATI does not support Linux well, so there does not seem to be any apparent way (at the moment) to use this card for capture.

I have seen threads where people have gotten their TV Wonder Pro/VE to work using the bttv driver, but I just noticed that it looks like that driver is for cards with software encoding and the Elite card has hardware mpeg2 encoding which, I'm guessing, is why it isn't being recognised.

Well...dang.

I was really looking forward to using MythTV over MediaPortal, but it looks like I must use MediaPortal unless I want to buy a different card.

Thanks for your help bruce and psicard.
