Help with a TV tuner... [SOLVED :P]
Hello, I am fairly new to Linux, so please bare with me 
I'm using Terratec Cinergy 1200 DVB-C tuner, which should work with the driver "budget-av". I use tvtime (a little outdated, but I like the look of it) to use the tuner, but it gives me an error which says "cannot open capture device /dev/video0", which is pretty descriptive.
I would be very grateful if someone could kindly help me make this tuner work

Re: Help with a TV tuner... [SOLVED :P]
I'm pretty sure tvtime is only for analogue tv. Your card seems to have been detected properly as /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 exists. Try using kaffeine, it works very well with digital tv cards.
