Thank you eka for your reply.

Well, I tried Yast but I don't think that I will find the compatible card

look, I have another question, as the tv tuner is a PCMCIA card, it has to appear in the system / PCMCIA as a PCMCIA controller yeah? and the lsmod has to show the value of PCMCIA as 1 and not 0 (as I understand, 0 means not used) but the socket is loaded!
So I am thinking that the problem is with the PCMCIA as if it is malfunctinonning! what do you think?
big problem with the tv tuner and the biggest problem that I need it...
About the driver download and update, do you think that I need to update something? my suse is suse 10 up to date.

Thank you and waiting for your reply.

add to .

the returns :

pcmcia 37176 0
firmware_class 9856 4 saa7134_dvb,tda1004x,pcmcia,ipw2200
pcmcia_core 39952 3 pcmcia,yenta_socket,rsrc_nonstatic

if I am not wrong, 0 means that the PCMCIA is not used yeah? but the yenta_socket is loaded
and the lspci returns:

02:00.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7134 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev 01)
as the TV tuner was detected!
so I am confused.

I think card is recognized now install some TV application and scan for channels.If not work try to find information what exact type is your card.
Is this dvb or analog tuner.If this is analog in this thread are post with names of apps for TV watching.But if this is dvb card I don't.

Thank you very ,uch for your reply keeps me feeling that I am not alone so trying more and more to not go back to windows

Well, I have a lot of TV applications, with the kde env. there is about 3 and I have the tvtime but nothing seems to be working...
I think that I have an analog PCMCIA TV tuner because in the kernel, by default it didn't awake the dvb for it! I tried to follow some posts in the forum and made dvb to run but later I found that it has nothing to do with my tv.

What do you think about that the card is detected like Generic / unknown? do you think that I should get some updates to identify my tv?

Thank you very much moy drug.
Spakoijnyji noch! (good night)

Few more Questions:
What happens when you scan for channels?Black screen or noise?
What is written in your hardware list for TV card? I am not so familiar whit Suse.

If your native language is russian you can send me e-mail with more detail information.

And don't give up and you'll see Linux is better.

Ok,
My native is not russian, I am from Lithuania, like you, was occupied by the "mother russia". I'm now studying in France second year PhD. I have a friend here from Bulgaria and he speaks russian so I wrote you that words.
back to subject:
When I scan for channels, it returns no channel(s) found and black screen, no noise.
in the hardware list, I have almost everything! except my card! Well, by the way, I today saw something in a forum, I think it will work for me: the AverMedia (written like that I guess) looks just like my card! and using the same damned saa7134! so maybe it will work if I'll give a try?
I have:
ATI
AVERMEDIA
ASKEY
ASUS
COMPRO
GRANDTEC
HAUPPAUGE
INTEL
LEADTEK
LIFEVIEW
MATRIX
MIRO
OSPREY
PINNADE
PROLINK
STB
TERRATEC
ZOLTRIX
and every vendor has a cards list: as the AverMedia has :
Avermedia AVerTV 307
AverMedia AverTV DVB-T761
...
and so on.
hope that this information are some how useful
and thank you very much for your replies.

The AverMedia is AverMedia cardbus TV/radio (E500) look at www.bttv-gallery.de but it does not work
we will keep trying

Thanks

I read a little from bttv-gallery and it cause me to think that your card is properly recognized and installed.Maybe the problem is in TV application.
Why don't you try XdTV.
This app scanning Channels in console mode and may give you usefully information about what is goind wrong.

P.S.
I found somethig http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_saa7134
This is not for Suse but can help.

Hi, you have to specify a card and a tuner, for example I have a compro dvb-t300 so I had to card=70 tuner=67 and it worked perfectly, I hope that helps.

Thank you for your reply.
But I don't have the card and the tuner numbers of my TV.and I think it's like a combination, I tried all card numbers and nothing found!
About the xdtv, I tried it but also no chance. the card is not identified.

Thank you and any idea will be so welcome!

Yours.

I´m surprised, i put a post with a similar problem some time ago

Compro Videomate Pvr And Ubuntu 5.10

the post was a problem for configurate my tv tuner , i put the response of dmesg, and modprobe, and have no response at all (0 response) and in other post of similar theme, have not one only response,have 39 responses with options, solutions, and response the requestions, what´s the trick for one post have responses?

Maybe i need speak better english for be understanded? i´m very sad sorry.

No I think english is almost OK,maybe you didn't have a luck.
So if you looking for information about DVB go to http://linuxtv.org
