I am new to zorin earlier I have used windows 7

in my system I hav already installed "Pixelview play tv 4" it works realy well in windows 7 It's remote also working well

but in when I moved to zorin I didn't found any driver support from pixelview. I have installed tvtime but nothing happens. It shows only no signal message. further more I would like to know my card is detected in zorin. (in windows it is easy by using device manager)

Hi,

try pasting the following command into a terminal then restart your PC, make sure you also install "kaffeine" and look at the link I posted earlier about DVB-T/S/C.

sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree dvb-apps
