HOW-TO: Flyvideo3000 saa7134, tv and radio viewing

[humanity_to_others]

Learn your card number from this page: http://linux.bytesex.org/ or http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_saa7134
For Flyvideo 3000 number is 2

sudo gedit /etc/modules

add the line

saa7134 card=2

and I use tvtime for viewing you can get it with synaptic and after next reboot for channel scanning :

tvtime-scanner

If you want to use mplayer for viewing first install it with fonts and codecs (mplayer-386 mplayer-fonts w32codecs) then edit config file,

gedit .mplayer/config

add the following line:

tv=driver=v4l2:device=/dev/video0:fps=25:chanlist=etc:norm=pal:
audiorate=32000:adevice=/dev/dsp1:input=0:amode=1:normid=4

and

mplayer tv://

For recording install mencoder for your processor (-586 -k7 -k6) and edit config file:

gedit .mplayer/mencoder

add this line:

tv=driver=v4l2:device=/dev/video0:fps=25:norm=pal:amode=1:
width=640:height=480

and recording command:

mencoder tv:// -ovc lavc -oac mp3lame

For radio listening and recording gnomeradio is well enough, first download it:

wget -c http://www.wh-hms.uni-ulm.de/~mfcn/gnomeradio/packages/gnomeradio_1.6-1_i386.deb

then install:

sudo dpkg -i gnomeradio_1.6-1_i386.deb

I also changed default device from /dev/radio to /dev/radio0 in settings.

Hi, I have a big dude, I did all here and I still don't have input signal on my tvtime... what do I suppose to have on my modules file, 'cause actually I just have that line (saa7134 card = 2)

Thanks!
