Howto anonymous my TV card (saa7134) works on mandriva spring 2008-1
I bought on ebay an anonymous card to watch TV on your computer, configuration is a challenge to configure
lspci
00:0 A.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7130 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev 01)
then check if I have the driver (otherwise they are dicks)
module to run all the chips mentioned in the introduction called saa7134 and is already present in Ubuntu. The following command verifies the availability of the form:
ls / lib / modules / $ (uname-kernel-release) / kernel/drivers/media/video/saa7134/saa7134.ko install the following programs mercurial xawtv tvtime
at this point we put in the file / etc / modprobe.conf the following line: options saa7134
options saa7134 card = 3 tuner = 9 = 4 # gbuffers
(note the difficulty is to understand the card and the Adjustment parameters parameter tuner see Appendix)
and the file / etc / modprobe.preload instead:
saa7134-alsa saa7134
scantv and xawtv or tvtime
tvtime-scanner and you're done
determining the tuner
kedit tuner_probe.sh
paste and then save the following script
# / bin / sh
MAXTUNER
= 69 i = 0
while [$ i-lt $ MAXTUNER]
do
saa7134_alsa rmmod saa7134 modprobe saa7134 card =
$ i
echo "Actual card is:" $ i sleep 1 #
this is to make sure / dev / video is registered when tvtime starts
tvtime
i=$(($i+1))
done
chmod 755 tuner_probe.sh
determinazione card
kedit script1
#/bin/sh
MAXTUNER=69
i=0
while [ $i -lt $MAXTUNER ];
do
rmmod saa7134_alsa saa7134
modprobe saa7134 card=$i
echo "Actual card is:" $i
sleep 1 # this is to make sure /dev/video is registered when tvtime starts
tvtime
the =$(($ i +1)) done
chmod 755 script1
NB many parameters enable the video card but no sound and then go past until the correct identification of the true parameter
