Issue with tuner tv Hauppage wintv on Opensuse 11.3

English Multimedia
1

Hello,

I cannot use my tv card in opensuse 11.3. All were working fine in opensuse 11.1.
it seems to be that my car is well recognize but channels search doesn’t work at all.

My Tv card is a Hauppage Wintv (bttv 878).

Could help me please because I have found any solution at the moment.

Thank you.

Hello,

it seems that i have the same problem, i just upgraded from 11.1 to 11.3.
I had to reconfigure my wintv PCI card using Yast, drivers get loaded and
i can see /dev/video0 and /dev/vbi0

I think kdetv is no more compatible with opensuse 11.3, which other apps could be used
for viewing the “analog” input ?

Cheers,

I found tvtime, which seems to be a good replacement for kdetv. I did a build of the kde4 port of kdetv before, but it seems very incomplete
and most stuff did not work (unusable).

tvtime works quite well :wink:
