There are 2 versions of this card, version 'I' & version 'J'. According various forums, version 'I' works out of the box, yet the later version 'J' needs some tinkering. Apparently version J was made to be compatible with Vista, so if you can avoid the box thats says Vista ready!
Version J Setup
Although this card does not work out of the box with a little tinkering you can quite easily get the Digital tuner to work in LinuxMCE. There is a patch available to get both the analogue and digital tuners but it looked a little too complex for my liking. http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/6/289 This patch is broken with kernel 2.6.25 diff -Naur /usr/src/linux/drivers/media/video/cx88/cx88-mpeg.c /usr/src/linux/drivers/media/video/cx88-patched/cx88-mpeg.c --- /usr/src/linux/drivers/media/video/cx88/cx88-mpeg.c 2007-10-09 22:31:38.000000000 +0200 +++ /usr/src/linux/drivers/media/video/cx88-patched/cx88-mpeg.c 2008-01-07 23:28:29.000000000 +0100 @@ -93,6 +93,7 @@

Anyway, to get the digital tuner to work you will need to follow 3 simple steps:
1. Configure linux to load the module cx88-dvb automatically on start-up using the command: sudo echo "cx88-dvb" >> /etc/modules
This will add the line cx88-dvb to the file /etc/modules.
2. Edit the /etc/modprobe.d/options file and add the line:
options cx88xx card=51
This will tell mythtv exactly what type of card you are using.
3. In Mythtv-setup, under capture cards, select 'DVB DTV capture card (v3.x)' for the card type. Set 'DVB Card Number' to 0 ( for the first card, 1 for 2nd card etc)
Remote Control
