Need help setting up an internal TV Card

English Hardware
1

Hi everyone

I am running openSUSE-11.3(x64) with KDE desktop & all updates installed
(as of 28-Jan-11).

Kernel name/version: “Desktop – openSUSE 11.3 - 2.6.34.7-0.7”

Over here at Dhaka/Bangladesh we get analog cable tv & transmission
format is PAL.

I recently changed my tv card from Avermedia ‘Avertv Super 700’ to
Kworld ‘PCI Analog TV Card Lite PVR-TV 7134SE’… at least that’s what
the label on the packaging says

I have been trying to take help by following instructions from these two
sites

Kworld PCI Analog TV Card Lite - LinuxTVWiki

Gentoo Wiki Archives - SAA7134

But I can’t figure out what exactly my card/tuner number should be

I mean my “exact card name” is not listed in the following file

/usr/src/linux/Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.saa7134

so I can’t figure the tuner number from the second website either

So on a hunch I put card=153 & tuner=43 and the card seems to be working
fine!! except for one or two channels.

But surely this is not the way to do things… there must be a more
accurate way… may be I am missing/not understanding something.

So… a little help would be much appreciated

Thanks in advance
Emon

Thanks for the link stamostolias

Hope this helps :slight_smile:

There are many hardware that I did not recognize :-p so I did not flag them as working, but to the best of my knowledge everything has been detected & working fine; so… should I mark everything as working??

Thanks in advance

Try with yast–>hardware–>tvcard

Yes, these are the excact numbers that this card need to work(i have the same card)
But how these numbers can be saved to my p.c.?Because after restart, i need to do this again and again.
There must be some way ,(i suppose)

Yast > Hardware > TV Card > Add > Expert Settings … > Kernel Module (drop down box) … navigate to/select “saa7134” and then add and set the parameters you are interested in.

Alternatively, by hand, edit /etc/modprobe.d/99-local.conf and add the options for the module there (see “/sbin/modinfo saa7134” for a list of available parms for the module … will be the same as those listed in the Yast method described above)

Either way, upon next boot, the module will be loaded with your desired settings.
