BUMP Again

[Cigla]

Hello!
I have Tiger Phillips TV card, and I tried the above method, with card id =81 (also with id=109, too), and now I have the picture from the card. But, I don't have the picture in TVtime, I have it in VLC player.(Open capture Device, video source=/dev/video0, set only frequency of the channel, PAL/NTSC, and width/height-mine is 700/400)
I have noticed something; while I was looking for the right card id, I've passed through these numbers once, and didn't get any results. But, I was repeating only the last command, sudo modprobe -v saa7134 card=109, but then I tried to repeat ALL the commands from above, again and again, changing id's. Don't know why, but now it is working!
Maybe this will help you, for more details, just ask if you haven't managed with this already.
Meanwhile, I'm looking for way to get sound, because /dev/dsp dosn't work. VLC keeps trying to open alsa:///dev/dsp, and not just /dev/dsp. If somebody knows the way how to enable sound, I'm asking for some help please?

you need to first execute foll command:

tvtime-scanner

which should scan the channels and save it in a configuration file.Then,you try tvtime..

hello i have problem with my tv tunner card

I have the same card and I got it working by using the following commands under Ubuntu but it doesn't work with mythtv, instead I use TVTime to view channels. Try it, check it in TVTime if it is working and then go for mythtv I suggest.

sudo modprobe -vr saa7134_dvb

sudo modprobe -vr saa7134_alsa

sudo modprobe -vr saa7134

sudo modprobe -v saa7134 card=21

i have this card and did that but in tv time there is no input
in windows it installs 10 moons driver

you need to first execute foll command:

tvtime-scanner

which should scan the channels and save it in a configuration file.Then,you try tvtime..

i did that it says

I do have the same tv card

01:07.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7130 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev 01)

i've installed tvtime but i got some errors

tvtime uvcvideo: Invalid argument
Cannot open capure device/dev/video0.

tvtime-scanner

Your capture card driver: uvcvideo [USB2.0 PC CAMERA/usb-0000:00:02.0-2/65792]
does not support studio-quality colour images required by tvtime.
This is a hardware limitation of some cards including many
low-quality webcams. Please select a different video device to use
with the command line option --device.

Message from the card was: Invalid argument

Any thoughts?
