Watching TV

I just got a Hauppauge WinTV HVR 950Q USB TV Tuner

Works great so far with tvtime.

It came with a Pinnacle remote control. Trying to get that going now.

The LinuxTV page tells me to check out a /proc file

I do "cat /proc/bus/input/devices" which tells me (in part) that the driver is loaded.
