ok i'm tying to build another xbmc machine and i'm running into problems. first off im pretty new to linux.

i installed ubuntu on a old pc i had laying around (amd x4 3.2 with 8g of ram)

i tried to install the drivers for my wintv 2250

and installed the tvheadend

first off i tried like 100 ways to get the drivers installed before i could see it in tvheadend, and when i finally got it to see the 2250 i couldn't set it up to scan for atsc.

i got really mad after messing with it for two days and started to build a windows server, now after setting that up i want to get it to work on linux. can some one help me out and point me to some good step by step guides.

also is that all i need or is there other software allso that i just don't know about to get all of this to work.

as far as distro i don't really care, i just need this box to run xbmc, run tv backend and media sever

thanks
