How to Install a TV Wonder 600 Hi-Speed USB in Linux

A TV Wonder 600 Hi-Speed USB adapter is a device that allows you to watch live television on your computer. Though it natively supports only the Windows and Mac OS X operating systems, there is a way you can get your adapter to work on your Linux computer. This is accomplished by installing a program called NDISWrapper, which lets you use your Windows device drivers on your Linux operating system.
