How do I get my Wintv PR USB2 card to work under Debian
 

Hi, I have a PVR USB2 tv card by Hauppauge and would like to know how do I enable this device in Debain. I am trying to wath tv with my card using vlc but when I try to open the tv card to watch tv, I get a message saying
Unable to open 'pvr://' How to I check the kernel to see if it is enabled in the kernel. Thanks.

here are things to help us:
do:
plug in the usb tv card
% lsusb
give us the output
% tail -15 /var/log/messages
give us this output (as root)

these who should give messages if the kernel found the card, loaded a
driver and created a device in /dev/

The mythtv wiki has a writeup about this device at:
<http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-PVR-USB2>

This would make a good starting point even if you don't intend to
install a full-blown myth setup.
