I have recently installed Ubuntu. How can I use my TV tuner to watch cable tv? The TV tuner model number is Zebronics TU1000.

There is a driver cd for this which works on Windows 7. Can I use this cd for Ubuntu also? I have found some question about How to use TV-tuner? but I do not find any solution. I am very new to ubuntu.

I have tried hard to work this TV-tuner with Ubuntu but with no luck.As working with a unsupported hardware in Linux is very difficult.So to use this TV-tuner you should have dual boot with Windows.But if I ever found a work-around I'll let you know.
