    Angry Sabrent saa7130 Tv Tuner Help

    I have a sabrent pci tv tuner (saa7130). I have mostly gotten it to work, but the "composite 1" and "television" inputs are switched in all the TV programs I try to use. I am now using 64bit and I had it working in 32bit but I can't remember what I did to fix the problem(When I switched to 64bit I didn't backup /etc/modprobe.d/saa7134). Also I remember when I had it "working" in 32bit, the lower channels weren't working when my TV could get them perfectly.

    dmesg output:

    Got it working on my system; as I said, similar symptoms, my issue was simply using the "wrong" card/tuner. More experimentation revealed many combinations that worked. The card described as the Sabrent TVFM yada yada was actually a poor match; for my card the Medion...7130 is what did the trick (#10 on the list of cards) and I settled on 43 for the tuner.

    Point is, with these cheapies you need to try out a lot of combos. The price you pay in toil for a low cost card.
