To watch TV using my Hauppauge PVR USB 2 tuner and Ubuntu 11.10
- install Ubuntu 11.10
- install vlc
- find out which video devices you have. Video devices can come e.g. from your webcam and - when we have it connected - from your TV tuner:
$ ls /dev/video*
- plug your tuner into a USB slot, connect the antenna cable and connect power
- kill all processes that block your video device:
$ lsof | grep video nautilus 1769 bootstick mem REG 8,34 46824 3691 /usr/lib/libgstvideo-0.10.so.0.24.0
- ok, there is a process nautilus blocking the video device. Kill it
$ killall nautilus
- verify it is killed
$ killall nautilus nautilus: no process found
- verify there is no other process
$ lsof | grep video $
- good
