SAA7134 TV-Card

Postby electroblast » Mon Apr 13, 2009 2:00

Good day,
I'v been trying to get my SA7134 card to work for the last week or so. I did follows many lead on internet but none worked. I know my card is good, since it work in Windoze.

Any one can put me in the right direction about how to get the card to work with TVTime?

Thanks
Jean

Updates...

Up to now, I did several modprobe rmmod etc. the best I could get was. 1 channel, but on composiote video 2. I still have no signal if I try any software like TVTIME or KDETV to scan..
this is the config I used to get the signal on the composite video.

modprobe saa7134 card=55 tuner=54 i2c_scan=1
modprobe saa7134-dvb
modprobe saa7134-alsa

Any one have any idea?

Thanks..

Not my strong point but will try to help as I can.

If you can get 1 channel then likely a setting is messed up, scanning argentina layout while in USA has different transponders and by luck is picking up a channel.
Cable signal strength has to bee good or plugged into external rooftop antenna instead of the small antenna that comes with the card as likely the scanning software has too low sensitivity setting to pick up the weaker channels.
Mine did this in windows in UK.

Now only have dvb-s feeds and dvb-t cards here = no joy aarrgghh.

PS: the card is dvb-s or dvb-t or dvb-c or combo and your target signal is what format dvb-??? , might ahve to check this setting in the scan software's config and adjust to get best results.

Have a look at some of the google search links:
