| Post subject: | Newbie Confused on BTTV config for Leadtek TV2000 XP RM |
I have read a lot of posts about the bttv issues with Leadtek cards and I have tried many of the suggestions only to turn up with static when viewing TV. So this makes me think I am confused about how to config bttv. so far I have: pico /etc/modules (dumps a whole list of items into an editor) i find bttv in the list and put "card=34 tuner=2" next to it i did this per this post:http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=6169&highlight=leadtek+winfast then i read about someone editting these values in pico /etc/mythtv/modules/bttv i entered in this information: alias char-major-81 videodev alias char-major-81-0 bttv options bttv card=34 options bttv tuner=2 gbuffers=8 options tuner debug=1 type=2 i did this per this post:http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=690&highlight=leadtek+bttv I also read somewhere else that for the RM version that card=34 and tuner=43 so i played with those values to no avail. So basically Im confused on where to put these values and how are they supposed to look on the screen I have also setup zap2it in US and it finds my cable provider but I cant scan channels in Channel Setup, should I be able to? Im vague on that as well. Any help would be appreciated. Im new to linux commands so make it newbie friendly. |

the proper place to put the values is in /etc/mythtv/modules/bttv or something close to that, too lazy to make sure it's 100% For a release or two that location wasn't working and people including myself got it working by putting the values in /etc/modules, but that is really not the right place to do it only the module name should be in that file. You certainly don't want to put the numbers in both places. You should not have to do any sort of channel scan for us cable connections using zap2it. scan is really only for OTA (over the air) signals. |

each time i didnt put them in the same place, I tried many different ways in each place, currently i still have those values in /etc/mythtv/modules/btv like they are in my first post yet I still get static. I also did update-modules command as well. The way I have it in my 1st post is the exact way it looks on the screen. So is this the right way to do it, and can anyone elaborate on the values and/or another solution to the static. Thanks for the response |

Try rmmod bt878 rmmod bttv modprobe bttv card=34 tuner=43 automute=0 dmesg Check the video with "tvtime or xawtv". If that works put the options in the correct location for bootup. "/etc/modules" bttv card=34 tuner=43 automute=0 |

"/etc/modules" bttv card=34 tuner=43 automute=0 could you elaborate on where to put these values and should i take out the ones I have done?, and how to get there to do it, and also about how to use tvtime or xawtv. Im real new to this and linux in general, thanks for you response. |
