I made my system from dual-boot to only LInux now. I am slowly making by box capable of doing everything it was doing in windows. Now with the help of members in this forum I could connect to internet using my internal modem. Next thing I want to do is working with my TV Tuner Card. I want to get the right driver then right software for viewing and capturing TV shows. Thanks in advance. Now I give some basic details to find a suggest a suitable driver for me.

OS : Fedora Core 4
Kernel : 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 on i686
lspci result : 02:04.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7130 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev 01)

Please help me in this...

Dont know how to proceed beyond this.

somebody pliz help

Still waiting for some help

well i had some issues w/ my asus tv fm card and they were all resolved in kernel 2.6.13 i see you are running 2.6.11-1.1369 try running yum - update as root, update all your packages. The modules have changed quite a bit in the last few kernel releases

What is the exact brand name of this Video card?

and further more, why are you using an unsupported version of Fedora anyway? Fedora 5 is almost unsupported (don't quote me) but 6 and 7 already have the support for it. You just need the firmware for it. and I can give you a link to the firmware for it when you update your kernel.

I am also using philips saa7130 Odyssey tv tuner card.
I,m also seeing same error msg while compiling my Driver. on fedora core 7

I used to have the same TV Tuner Card on my system. Although, I think mine was ASUS with Phillips SAA7134 chip. Used to work just fine on FC4 -FC7... Then, all of the sudden, it started behaving strange until it finally died (had some strange hardware issues until recently, when my MB and CPU died, and I had to replace some hardware).

Every time, the driver used came along with system install.
