I have checked this site. It contains a RPM-spec file and the source.
I am not familiar with compiling sourcecode
- what to do now?

Has anybody drivers and tv-applications for debian use?

I've been running a Hauppauge WinTV pci card for some time using various
versions of xawtv and it runs fine. There is also some software called (
I believe ) videotext which will drive the teletext decoder although I
found this to be a bit unstable. This is with Redhat 5.1 patched to
2.0.36, althought I also ran the card with Redhat 5.0 and 2.0.32(?).

The url for xawtv is http://www.cs.tu-berlin.de/~kraxel/linux/#xawtv

Hope this is of some help.
