    wintv-hvr-1500 tuner card does not turn on when programs ask it to.

    I setup 8.10 because it is supposed to have native drivers for this card. It is recognized with lspci and lsmod shows the drivers. However, when a program calls for it, it will not turn on. Neither mythtv or the command line scan can turn on the card. Any help would be much appreciated. Works fine in windows vista.

    I have tried for too long tonight and must now go to bed.

    Code:
    lspci -vnn
    returns this for the tv tuner:

        found some solutions, but not a complete answer yet. Downloaded firmware following instructions here:
        http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.ph..._XC3028/XC2028


        Wondering though if that firmware might be for 32 bit only as on the /zip file they list some for 64 bit, but the script won't accept the 64 bit firmware. I may have to try running the 32 bit version of 8.10 tomorrow and see if I am able to get my tuner working with that.
