It should, however, work for DVB. Are you sure this card can receive analog television broadcasts? If so, then you should try to specify the tuner # to the saa7134 module by adding a line to your modprobe.conf: options saa7134 tuner=XX where XX should be replaced by the tuner ID found in linux/Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.tuner > Second, the TV-PVR 883 cards aren't recognised, but the manual pretty > much states they're a KWorld LTV883RF, so I've used card=16 as a > parameter for the cx88xx module. Does this work properly for you? If so, then we can alter the driver so that this card will be autodetected. Please respond with the PCI subsystem ID of that card. Preferably, I'd like to see the relevant portions of your dmesg output. > Finally (for the moment :) I was expecting "something" (udev/v4l/etc.) > to create some /dev/dvb/* devices, but that hasn't happened.

The saa7134-dvb module does not autoload :-( do: modprobe saa7134-dvb voila! > > Thanks, > James HTH, Michael Krufky _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
