A major challenge, can anyone help?
It is an Acer Aspire mini desktop with Yuan MPC788 TV card.
How can I make it work on Linux Mint 13?
How can I simply watch TV?
Even this I do for others, windows people.
It has to work to convince them of Linux.
Thank you very much!

Try the method given at:

The file xc3028_v27.fw needs to be put in /lib/firmware

Re: Watch tv on linux Mint 13
Try and install Kaffeine, I don't know how much KDE packages it will pull, if you're using the main edition. I'm using Linux Mint 13 KDE and was surprised to find out that my Terratec DVB-S2 card was recognized automatically, perhaps drivers/firmware were/was added to the newer kernel releases? Install Kaffeine and open up the Digital TV section, there go into Television >> Configure Television and if there's a device tab available, I believe you'll be able to scan at least the DVB-T signal. If there's nothing there, well you have a battle in front of you, visit the link above and good luck...
