You need:
| Code: | I2O device support --->
<*> I2O support
<*> I2O PCI support
Character devices ---> I2C support --->
<*> I2C support
<*> I2C bit-banging interfaces
<*> I2C /proc interface (required for hardware sensors) (not sure about this one)
Multimedia devices --->
<*> Video For Linux
Multimedia devices ---> Video For Linux --->
[*] V4L information in proc filesystem

in your kernel.
The "best app" depends on you desktop and you expectations. xawtv is lean and mean (I use it), kwintv seem to be good. If you have CPU cycles to burn try tvtime. Mythtv maybe good but is much more than just tv and has some more requirements (mysql). Because of this it is a PITA to install..... |
