Hello together,

I want to share my experiences with the ProVideo PV952 with you.
This card works fine now. :-)
To get this card running I had to download and install the 2004-12-14
video4linux snapshot at http://cvs.bytesex.org and use the following
/etc/modprobe.d/tv file

alias char-major-81 videodev
options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1
# YaST2 configured TV card
# bSAa.LthlTKW24eD:SAA7134
alias char-major-81-0 saa7134
alias char-major-81-1 off
alias char-major-81-2 off
alias char-major-81-3 off
options saa7134 card=51 tuner=38

Many thanks to the video4linux list at
https://www.redhat.com/mailman/private/video4linux-list and the people
who write all this great software.

Kind Regards

Achim
