First Raspberry Pi Build: TV Tuner?

Former Member

Hey everyone!

 

So I received my Raspberry Pi as a Christmas gift and got it up and running today. I started thinking about possibilities on how to use the RPi to make some things easier and I thought of something that I could use some help with.

 

Since I am off at college I use a TV tuner plugged into a computer monitor as my TV back home (since my TV is at college). So I decided to take the casing off my tuner and wondered something...

 

Is there anyway to use the tuner part of this card and some how make it connectable to USB and use through my Raspberry Pi to play on my computer monitor and go from there?

 

So basically run the TV tuner through the raspberry pi via USB or one the the pin connectors. I could really use some help and knowledge on founding out if this is possible.

 

Thanks everyone!

 

Erik

  • Personally I think this a fun thing but a bit of a tinker toy rather than an actual TV tuner image

    If you need a tuner to work on the Raspberry Pi I would suggest getting one

    of the USB tuners from the loacl store or Auction site du Jour  which has known Linux

    compatability. They range in  the £5-15 area so not too bad. It's still a project of worth

    as you may well need to compile the existing driver module for the PI etc etc.

     

    This I feel would have greater chance of success and would be more generally useful to

    the RPI comunity as a whole.

     

    Good luck with your project

    Ha I see Marc says similar...take a look they have some good stuff in that list
