Post subject:  R5B7: Tuner not working on PCTV, solved by workaround

Hello,

I just upgraded to R5B7 and my Pinnacle PCTV Stereo wouldn't work anymore. Tried with xawtv, but nothing. After Googling I found these:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5699

A bug in kernel 2.6.15 forces you to pass options to a module in order to get the tuner working. In 2.6.14 there's no need.

To do that I added the following to /etc/modprobe.d/KnoppMyth (first line is the important one):

Code:
options tda9887 port2=1
options saa7134 card=26 tuner=33 oss=1


...and to make sure tda9887 and its new options are loaded before saa7134 I changed the order in /etc/modules (Important: saa7134 is now after tda9887 and tuner):

Code:
tda9887
tuner
saa7134


For some reason xawtv still didn't show a picture! Fortunately good old mplayer tv:// could handle the task, and then of course mythtv too.
