number 2: do you have (fully working) dvb drivers on there? see if the dvb tools work (cscan/tscan/...)
number 3: does your processor have sse or mmx support? cat /proc/cpuinfo. tvheadend uses it for the softcam decoding. if all your channels are free to air or if you have a working hardware cam, this won't be needed.
number 4: probably won't be a problem, but to be complete: is your hardware fast enough? an hd h264 is about 12mbit/s here and your hardware should be able to read/write that to your disk if you want to do recordings.
that's about all the requirements I can think of.
Hi dushmaniac!
2: that shouldn't be a problem, I own an Avermedia Volar Black HD USB tuner (already tested on a PC running Ubuntu)
3: I got SSE, SSE2 and MMX support (Pentium M 1GHz). All channels will be free to air anyway.
4: I already run XBMC with Crystal HD support, so that should work.
Does Tvheadend use a lot of RAM?
