Whenever I start tvtime the screen appears blue and says 'no signal'. any help??? saa7130/34: v4l2 driver version 0.2.14 loaded ohci1394: fw-host0: OHCI-1394 1.1 (PCI): IRQ=[20] MMIO=[f4044000-f40447ff] Max Packet=[2048] IR/IT contexts=[4/8] ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:1f.3[B] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 21 ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:03:01.0[A] -> GSI 21 (level, low) -> IRQ 20 saa7130[0]: found at 0000:03:01.0, rev: 1, irq: 20, latency: 32, mmio: 0xf4045000 saa7130[0]: subsystem: 18d0:2100, board: Philips Tiger reference design [card=81,insmod option] saa7130[0]: board init: gpio is 38500 saa7130[0]: i2c eeprom 00: d0 18 00 21 10 28 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff saa7130[0]: i2c eeprom 10: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff saa7130[0]: i2c eeprom 20: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff saa7130[0]: i2c eeprom 30: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff saa7130[0]: i2c eeprom 40: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff saa7130[0]: i2c eeprom 50: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff saa7130[0]: i2c eeprom 60: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff saa7130[0]: i2c eeprom 70: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff tuner 1-0061: chip found @ 0xc2 (saa7130[0]) tuner 1-0061: setting tuner address to 61 tuner 1-0061: type set to tda8290+75a ieee1394: Host added: ID:BUS[0-00:1023] GUID[000fea000087d166] tuner 1-0061: setting tuner address to 61 tuner 1-0061: type set to tda8290+75a saa7130[0]: registered device video0 [v4l2] saa7130[0]: registered device vbi0 saa7130[0]: registered device radio0 ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:03:04.0[A] -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 Vortex: init.... <3>saa7130[0]/dvb: frontend initialization failed _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
