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



then


then


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


if not already present create a file



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.
