hi,
i m running linuxmce 710 and want to update the module saa7134 whitout updating the kernel. How can i do it?

i have instaled a second hard drive whit another so, but grub didn t realize (i can start it if i change boot priority)
how can i do that grub gyvme the choice?

i have problems finding a tuner that works whit linuxmce
(bought a shappire ati tv wonder, but dindn t work because they changed the chipset)

i m in argentina and need an analog tuner - PAL
i ve searched evrywhere any hauppage 150,250,500,1200,... anything... but can t find it

options are: (just choose ramdonly from www.mercadolibre.com.ar)
encore tv tuner pro (enl tv-fm) usd30
kworld plus tv lite (pci) usd31
Kworld Tvbox 1680 Ex Esp. Wide 22 usd75
avermedia tv  boxw9 usd139
avermedia tv dvi box7 usd163

cheaper is better
any ideas?

ok, i have done a big mistake. i post it here just in case someone get in the same problem
googling a little you can find that the ati tv wonder has b8t8 chipset (that work whit bttv module) but my kernel loaded saa7134 (that works whit phillips 7130/7134 chipset)
the problem wasn t the kernel, but the manufacturer: they just changed the chipset!!
so much wasted time...

newbee question, is the second card to lan or wan

so i can hide the hybrid.
Can i control the dvd whitout having a direct connection?
DVD -> TV <-- core

thanks, one more question, if i have a dvd connected to the tv, how can i control it whit the core? i mean, the dvd only have outputs no inputs

PAL-N  and no digital tv
(but if the card can receive pal-n AND ntsc much better)

where i get that list? i need an analog card, the problem is that i m in argentina, i tryed some that you mention in the wiki but they are discontinued, and they won t import something old.

Any ideas? i have ask in kubuntu forums and they said the problem is in the kernel too old

this is my first linuxmce build and i'm in a early stage, what do you think about trying the 810 alpha2 version? i read it comes whit newer kernel and drivers. is it harder to install/configure? is it very unstable?

Hi,
I have and old-and-good sony 21' whit some basic inputs (a/v components)
can i connect it to the lnuxmce core? how, through the video card exit? can i control the tv whit the usbuirt device?

when it boot, i can add a tuner in mythtv, but it has the saa7130 driver, so i can t see the tv (/dev/video0)

root@dcerouter:~# modprobe -r saa7134
root@dcerouter:~# modprobe bttv card=39
root@dcerouter:~# lspci
...
03:07.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7130 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev 01)

then i tried in mythtv and it don t find the tv tuner (don t find video/vbi device )

do i have to create a /dev/video1 or something asotiated to the bttv driver?

Hi all, i can t get my ati tv wonder to be find in linuxmce 710
first of all, sorry about my english!

when i put lspci i get
03:07.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7130 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev 01)

so it seems to detect it wrong (ati tv uses bttv)

root@dcerouter:~# lsmod |grep saa
saa7134               148308  0
video_buf              30084  2 saa7134,bttv

ir_kbd_i2c             11536  1 saa7134
ir_common              38916  3 saa7134,bttv,ir_kbd_i2c
videodev               31360  2 saa7134,bttv
v4l2_common            21888  4 saa7134,bttv,compat_ioctl32,videodev
v4l1_compat            15364  3 saa7134,bttv,videodev
i2c_core               30208  7 saa7134,bttv,i2c_algo_bit,tveeprom,ir_kbd_i2c,nvidia,i2c_nforce2

i tried to rmmod saa7130 but it don t find it,
so i search in /proc/modules and find

saa7134 148308 0 - Live 0xffffffff88e70000
bttv 216692 0 - Live 0xffffffff88e3a000
...
video_buf 30084 2 saa7134,bttv, Live 0xffffffff88b75000
...
videodev 31360 2 saa7134,bttv, Live 0xffffffff88b36000
v4l2_common 21888 4 saa7134,bttv,compat_ioctl32,videodev, Live 0xffffffff88b2f0$
....

i can remove saa7130 but lspci show the same
i can load modprobe bttv but lspci keep showing the same and mythtv doesnt find the ati

I hope anyone can help me

another little thing, when i boot i need to change "quiet splash" for "all_generic_ide" or boot fails, how can i make a change to don t have to do it evry time
