Re: tvtime does not work

Thank you Antonio very much.
I looked carefully at your comments and did not find an error like yours
No message RANT
But i did find a message in lsmod about a missing eprom
and i think there could be something wrong.

I have copyed only a few lines out lsmod; lspci and dmesg.
I can send the complete output, if you want

Thanks

Erik

Hi

I have a TV card from KNC-ONE (www.knc1.com)
The producer calls it an analog TV cart with
Bt878

Thats all the information on the product.
On the website are drivers

Erik


The drivers should be present on the fedora kernel
that you are running. You need to do the
following to
try and get your tvcard working

# lsmod

look for bt878 module, and then run dmesg

# dmesg

look for relevant information pertaining to your
card.
Try to find the messages rant and bt878 card= no
from
the list provided. As you test the cards out, or
you
know which is the relevant one, do the following

# rmmod bt878
# modprobe bt878 card=X where X represents the
number
that matches your card. IF you run dmesg again,
and
see that there are no error messages try tvtime
again
and make sure to configure it. The tvtime
homepage
was instrumental in setting up a saa7134 card that
one
of my PC's has.

http://tvtime.sourceforge.net/

click on help/faq and you should be on your way to
making tvtime work.

If it is of any help I'll send you all the
commands
that make my SABRENT TV/FM card work with Fedora
Core
6. I had a hard time with it before, but I set it
up
with no problems using the guides on TVTime
help/faq
pages.

Regards,

Antonio

Hi,

I have a TV card with a BT878 Chip.
I live in Holland, so we use pal as the tv
standard.

When i configure tvtime like this. it can
not
find any channels

How can i solve this problem

Thanks

Erik

Hi Erik. Can you post some more info. Which
card
are you using?
/sbin/lspci -v
will show this. Also can you post the relevant
bits from dmesg, for
when the
bttv stuff is loaded.

Which FC version, and kernel are you using?

I have an Hauppauge Win TV Express card, using
bt878a driver. I'm in
Northern
France, and can receive SECAM channels from
France, PAL channels from
Belgiam, and PAL channels from the UK, all
with an
antenna, but have
had to
set various options in /etc/modprobe.conf to
get
this card working.

I havn't had much success with tvtime, and am
using Xawtv, Xawdecode,
or Kdetv
for viewing TV.

It may also be worth posting to the
video4linux
list with this
problem. they
can be a bit slow to answer as it's mainly a
developers list
video4linux-list@xxxxxxxxxx




https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/video4linux-list

You need to register to post to the list.

You need to be a bit patient. It took me
between
2, and 3 weeks to get
my card
working ok on different distros, and different
kernels can cause a
problem
too. At the moment I'm trying to get the card
working on Debian Etch
with a
2.6.17-2-686 kernel. It works ok with the
2.6.8
kernel, but some
problems
with the 2.6.17 one. It all makes life
interesting.

Nigel.

and now tvtime works fine.

when finishing watching TV, I have to rmmod saa7134
because sound continues on, even without picture. I
can live with that. Try to find relevant information
for your tv card and try the given advice.

Regards,

Antonio
