I have the Asus Digimatrix with the saa7135 card that has the LG NTSC tuner (39) on it. I can view TV channels through tvtime, xawtv and mplayer, but MythTV wont show me live tv. I patched and recompiled the kernel so I could use the remote (which works) and I added some Sis drivers for the video card to allow me to use Xv and some other accelerated features (like switching between VGA and svideo). However, the kernel is still only 2.4.26. It almost seems like I'm missing some fundamental MythTV setting.

Whenever I try to watch live TV, I get the following errors in the mythbackend.log:



I noticed that I'm getting Does that mean I'm going to have to recompile mythtv with different settings since this is a saa7135 card? When I try to record, I get essentially the same errors. Has anyone else had these problems?

Here's info from my .xsession-errors for an attempt at WatchingLiveTV:



Essentially the same thing for trying to WatchingPreRecorded except I get a ton more "Audio buffer overflow" messages.

Can anyone help?

MythTV has no compilation settings for which type of video card you may have? If the chipset uses cx88, you may have an uphill battle. That is to say no one have is working w/ MythTV (non that I'm aware of at any rate). Have you checked the MythTV archives? I'd also recommend doing a Google od linux and digimatrix. I've ran across a site that had a lot of info of setting it up....

I have done extensive searches for MythTV users who have tried using the saa7135 chipset (not cx88xxx) capture cards and tuners. Some have no trouble at all, where some cannot get the tv viewing to work either.

At this point I may just end up trying freevo instead since it seems to be just a Python front end to all the applications I've already gotten running.
