I'm running the Pinnacle 300i card with rather old code. See below: root@dl6hbo:~# uname -r 2.6.10 root@dl6hbo:~# dmesg | grep saa7134 saa7134[0]: found at 0000:00:0c.0, rev: 1, irq: 19, latency: 32, mmio: 0xe0102000 saa7134[0]: subsystem: 11bd:002d, board: Pinnacle PCTV 300i DVB-T + PAL [card=50,autodetected] saa7134[0]: board init: gpio is c806000 tuner 0-0060: chip found @ 0xc0 (saa7134[0]) saa7134[0]: i2c eeprom 00: bd 11 2d 00 f8 f8 1c 00 43 43 a9 1c 55 d2 b2 92 saa7134[0]: i2c eeprom 10: 00 f0 04 04 ff 20 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff saa7134[0]: i2c eeprom 20: 01 40 01 02 03 ff 03 01 08 ff 00 25 ff ff ff ff saa7134[0]: i2c eeprom 30: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff saa7134[0]: registered device video0 [v4l2] saa7134[0]: registered device vbi0 saa7134[0]: pinnacle 300i dvb setup DVB: registering new adapter (saa7134[0]). it is working, with some issues though. There are some glitches both in video and audio, but after some time running the card works. You may wish to have a look at http://www.puuhis.net/htpc/ and at http://de.gentoo-wiki.com/Pinnacle_300i though it is in German and at http://linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.php/How_to_build_from_CVS or ask me for help, config files and the video4linux archive I am using. Wishing not to hurt anyone, I must say that any archive after the one implementing version 0.2.13 of the saa7134 driver(s) -- as implemented in current "bleeding-edge" kernels did not work for me. > Regards and Best Wishes, > Rob Watkins Regards, Rainer -- Rainer Schubert - Linux TV User Amateur Radio Call DL6HBO
