PlusTV All in one PCI card

[blueskies1977]

I have a KWorld PlusTV all in one card (model pl610) which uses the Phillips 713x series of chipsets.

This is the lspci output for the card:

06:08.0 0480: 1131:7133 (rev d1)
    Subsystem: 17de:7256
    Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 23
    Memory at f9fff800 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2K]
    Capabilities: <access denied>
    Kernel driver in use: saa7134
    Kernel modules: saa7134

has anyone had any success in finding the relevant modprobe details to enable this card to work?

I also have this card and I am also stuck

lspci -vv gives

This beast also has a firewire input wich I think is reported thus:-

There is a thread here - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...ghlight=Kworld - which shows how to get the SAA7134 chipset working. Sadly I really don't understand it and so cannot see if I can modify it for the SAA7131/SAA7133/SAA7135.

I think that this means that the board has been detected - so you don't need to modprob? But am not sure about the fact that one part is saying it is generic. It could be due to the fact that this card has an analogue and digital receiver built in as well as composite and the firewire(?)

All I know is that mythtv is living up to its name and refusing to display anything.

Can anyone help here? What - if anything - do I need to modify do from the thread I have highlighted to get the card to work. In particular as they are shutting down analogue tv here in the UK soon - what do I need to do to get the DVB (digital) tuner to work on Ubuntu 9.10?

[As an aside I also have 10.whatever but hate the startup screen .... so am sticking to 9.10 for now it just looks so much more professional.]
