Nooby, Like yourself I'm a bit overwhelmed by what little I've learned about Linux but what I DO know is that you have to make effort to help yourself before you can be helped better by others.

I joined this forum because a particular DVB-T problem had become acute but faced a quandry of where and how best to describe the difficulty without attracting over-complex (or derisive) answers. A long ten days and 143 views later I posted an exasperated comment that began to attract helpful replie...

Without practical knowledge of Linux I am bouncing between brick walls trying to make my Hauppauge Nova T DVB-T USB Stick work with Puppy Linux 528.005 installed on a 2GB flash drive. Following such advice as I can find, I can confirm with DMESG that the driver is successfully loaded, have applied t...
