Post subject:  module problem with a comprovideo-mate dvb-t 300
Hi I have said card installed in my mythtv box

The card doesn't want to be recognised properly by the v4l modules.

From a cold boot dmesg reports that is has found the correct card (videomate dvb-t300) but it only loads it with the saa7134 module not the saa7134-dvb module. If I restart the computer (not switching the power off) then dmesg reports that the card is an unknown generic saa7134 card.


To get it to function

After boot up I have to

Code:
rmmod saa7134


then
Code:
 modprobe saa7134-dvb


then
Code:
 modeprobe saa7134


for it to be recognised by the system and be usable.

As you can see this is far from ideal as a media center setup (a little time consuming when you want to just switch-on and vege lol)

I'm wondering if there is some way (i.e. auto mating the revoal of the saa7134 and remodprobe of the saa7134_dvb && saa7134 modules so I don't have to manually type it in at start up.

Better yet a way to completly fix the problem so I can cold boot or reboot with out issue.

Thanks heaps in advance and thanks for the great distro will be joyus if/when this works fully[/code]

ok well I think I've found a fix here

http://www.overclockers.com.au/wiki/MythTV

States the card I have requires the latest v4l and linux dvb cvs and the 2.6.12 or above kernel.

Has instructions there aswell as to how to go about this.

I hope this is in the right section now that I've found the soultion so far.

actually scrap that I've found a better solution to the problem I was having


found here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=402783

It's simply

Code:
 rmmod saa7134

          sudo gedit /etc/modules
         

if not already present create a file

Code:
            sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.conf

          and add the following
          # sets tv card for both analogue and digital
          options saa7134 card=70 tuner=67 (aussie compro card settings?)


and you should be good to go. There is another option in that thread above so if the first doesn't work.

Next step xmltv guide :)

This is another compro card
saa7134 card=78 tuner=54 (Compro t300 unknown origin)

You can fix the need to type modprobe saa7134-dvb every time you boot by adding it to:

/etc/init.d/KnoppMyth-tv

(down the bottom after the modprobe nvram line)

Fixed my compro dvb-t 300 anyway - there is a long thread around here somewhere that relates to this problem in a diff. card with the same chipset....that's where I found the solution!

Make sure the card type and tuner are detected properly by using:

modprobe saa7134 card=70
modprobe saa7134-dvb

then shutdown your PC and unplug the power cord for 20 seconds to reset the card.
