Good day,

I have been trying for a few days to get a Knoppmyth box up ad running. MY hardware is as follows:

Athlon 2400
512MB Ram
160 Gig HDD
LifeView FlyVIDEO2000 (as reported by dmesg) Saa7130 based TV/FM tuner card w/remote
ATI Radeon 9200SE

Now, first of all, I realize that I am likely going to encounter problems with the ATI card. If this is the case, I will go out and purchase a card that will be easy to setup with TV out.

Now, the problem that I am encountering is with the Tuner card itself.

lspci reports the following:

Code:
0000:00:11.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7130 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev 01)
   Subsystem: Animation Technologies Inc. LiveView FlyVideo 2000
   Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11
   Memory at cfffcc00 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1K]
   Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 1



.... and here are the relevant sections of dmesg:

Code:

saa7130[0]: found at 0000:00:11.0, rev: 1, irq: 11, latency: 64, mmio: 0xcfffcc00

Code:

ivtv:  ==================== START INIT IVTV ====================
ivtv:  version 0.4.2 (tagged release) loading
ivtv:  Linux version: 2.6.13.2-chw-3 SMP preempt 586 gcc-3.3
ivtv:  In case of problems please include the debug info between
ivtv:  the START INIT IVTV and END INIT IVTV lines, along with
ivtv:  any module options, when mailing the ivtv-users mailinglist.
ivtv:  ====================  END INIT IVTV  ====================



When I run mythtv, selecting Watch TV is greeted only with static. I have tried passing options to the bttv or ivtv modules in the bttv and ivtv files in /etc/myth/modules, but it does not seem like they are having any effect.


my research seems to indicate that I should be using card=54 and tuner=39. As the dmesg points out, the card is being setup with tuner type 37.

Could someone point me in the right direction here, I am obviously missing the boat, despite reading through post discussing similar problems.

Thanks in advance for you assistance!

I'm in a simular situation but hopefully the fix I've found may be of some use to you(since it's not solving my troubles).

WARNING: I read about this on another forum if it crashes your machine it's not my fault. If it's not the *right* way it's also not my fault:)

Goto /etc

edit modules

goto the line that says bttv after it add "card=* tuner=*" without the quotes and save it then it should work.

EDIT: In a thread I just started above I think a few things are discussed that would help.

"setting it in /etc/modules should have worked, however the correct place to set it would be in /etc/mythtv/modules/bttv? to find out what the ? should be look in /etc/modprobe.d/KnoppMyth to see what file is included."

the thread is located @ http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=8158

Good luck

Well, after much hair pulling, I have solved this problem. Listing the modules options in the /etc/mythtv/moudels/bttv file had no effect. To solve the problem I needed to create the following file:

Code:
/etc/modprobe.d


with theese contents:

Code:
options saa7134 card=74 tuner=39 oss=1



The tuner card is now working properly, along with my ATI 9200SE TV Out. The audio is another problem, for another thread ;-)

I also had a problem with the changes in bttv making any changes though did you run "update-modules"? That will recreate the /etc/modules.conf file with your changes. No less this didn't work for me though upon reinstalling it is working like it's supposed to now. Neither here nor there glad to hear it's working.

I did indeed. For me, any changes I had to specify directly witht he saa7134 module.
