   years on many Mandriva distributions. I have written some code around it to

   to store a firmware    
   file in a special location. I've used all the DVB related packages. Hopefully   
   that will work on 64-bit version as well.

   The only place you might have problems is  if that TV tuner is very old,   
   and the driver for that is no longer in the kernel.

   I believe you have to install the 32 bit version specially.
