Re: TV card from brand computer

Pyntux - some general advice: use all the resources available to you to answer your question, particularly when it's not an Arch-specific question. It is possible that you will get help here, but you can help yourself a lot quicker here.

Re: TV card from brand computer

I have a
03:00.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7134/SAA7135HL Video Broadcast Decoder (rev 01)
That's a pcmcia card and it works fine here. All I have to do is modprobe saa7134-alsa and a special command line for mplayer

#!/bin/sh
mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:norm=PAL:fps=25:width=768:height=576:device=/dev/video0:chanlist=europe-west:alsa=yes:adevice=hw.1,0:amode=1:audiorate=32000:forceaudio:immediatemode=0:channels=\
E7-ARD,\
...
52-9live\
 -vf pp=lb -vo xv -af volnorm -delay 0.2

To achieve, that the tv card is always hw:1,0, I put

options saa7134-alsa index=1

in modprobe.conf

That's all ;-)

edit: I forgot, until kernel 2.6.29 I had to reload the modules for the card, otherwise it didn't work.

#!/bin/bash

rmmod saa7134-alsa
rmmod saa7134-dvb
rmmod saa7134
rmmod tuner
rmmod tda9887
modprobe tda9887
modprobe saa7134-alsa

With 2.6.30 that doesn't seem to be required anymore, now a modprobe saa7134-alsa is enough (I have to automatize that too! ;-) )
