by Hello.
Recently I have acquired a TV tuner card. It is a Prolink
PlayTV Pro (PV-BT878P+ W/FM Rev. 8E). But I am having
difficults in configuring it in my Red Hat Linux 7.2
(with upgrades) system, even after reading the bttv driver
documentation on the kernel, the xawtv manual and the
BTTV Mini-HOWTO.
I have already tried the following:
# insmod bttv card=37 radio=1
with the following log out in /var/log/messages:
i2c-core.o: client [Philips PAL] unregistered.
i2c-core.o: adapter unregistered: bt848 #0
i2c-core.o: driver unregistered: i2c TV tuner driver
bttv: driver version 0.7.83 loaded
bttv: using 2 buffers with 2080k (4160k total) for capture
bttv: Host bridge is VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8367 [KT266]
bttv: Bt8xx card found (0).
bttv0: Bt878 (rev 17) at 00:0a.0, irq: 10, latency: 32, memory: 0xee000000
bttv0: using: BT878(PixelView PlayTV pro) [card=37,insmod option]
i2c-core.o: adapter bt848 #0 registered as adapter 0.
i2c-core.o: driver i2c TV tuner driver registered.
bttv0: i2c attach [client=(unset),ok]
2c-core.o: client [(unset)] registered to adapter [bt848 #0](pos. 0)
And v4l-conf gives me:
# v4l-conf
v4l-conf: using X11 display :0.0
dga: version 2.0
mode: 1920x1440, depth=24, bpp=32, bpl=7680, base=0xe0000000
/dev/video0 [v4l2]: ioctl VIDIOC_QUERYCAP: Invalid argument
done
Also I do not know which frequency table I should use
with scantv (from the xawtv package). If I run
# scantv -n pal-m
please select a frequency table
0: us-bcast
1: us-cable
2: us-cable-hrc
3: japan-bcast
4: japan-cable
5: europe-west
6: europe-east
7: italy
8: newzealand
9: australia
10: ireland
11: france
12: china-bcast
13: southafrica
nr ?
I am presented a set of frequence tables to choose one from,
but none of them seems to be adequate for use in Brazil.
I would apreciate any tips from people using a TV tuner
card with Linux.
Also I would like to know which options I have for watching
TV on Linux, besides the xawtv program.
Regards.
