Does anyone know if there is anyway to get this working on Redhat 9?
Are there drivers for it anywhere? I dont know if it will work or not on Linux. If anyone has any idea, let me know please.

i could not get it work, i use debian, but i am still searching for my problem :\

Any Luck getting this card to work, I cant get mine to work yet either in RH9.0

Hi,

Are you still having problems under RH 9? Can you describe what sorts of problems you are encountering (is it a matter that you don't have a driver for it)?

For what it's worth, I was able to get this card working under RH 7.3 pretty easily using the bttv driver. The stock RH 7.3 came precompiled with TV support built into the kernel, so all I had to do was insmod the bttv driver. I had done a fair amount of surfing before I bought the card (to make sure it would be supported), and had discovered a few little "gotcha's" along the way.

To cut to the chase, the card was not automatically detected, even after I modified my /etc/modules.conf. I ended up having to put the following 'insmod' in my /etc/rc.d/rc.local file :

--------------------------------------------
#
# Install the Winfast TV2000 card :
#
insmod bttv tuner=2 radio=1
--------------------------------------------

Not sure I really need the "radio=1"...

Anyway, after doing the above, I was able to use the card with Freevo without any problems (well, I am having one problem -- we have over-the-air TV, and with the current settings, I'm unable to receive any UHF stations since CATV channels above 14 are different frequencies than UHF channels).

Hope this helps. (And happy holidays :-)

Hello all.

I am the author of the TV Tuner guide at http://www.linuxhelp.ca/guides/tvtuner/ , perhaps if you could be a little more descriptive about the problems you are experiencing, I may be able to help out.

Getting this card to work should not be distribution specific, it should work for any distro as long as you compile bttv support in your kernel (either right in or as a module).

If you have attempted to use my guide, and have found it un-successful, or not quite clear enough, by all means, let me know and I will revise it.

I can most frequently be found on the Linuxhelp.ca's forums , so you will most likely receive a quicker response when posting to that forum.

the problem I am/was having was the tv input ports were swapped. The card/.driver loaded without an issue, but when I went to watch TV, I was getting tv signal out of the composite input port, not the TV port. I am talking internal ports. The card worked fine for a new install, but I had to retire it because I couldnt get it to work for my main linux box. I still dont know the root cause.
I could change tv channels only while using composite, then when I switched back to TV, the last channel changed to on composite, showed up on tv mode, but I cant change channels.

I have the same card and i had no problems with it on Red Hat 9 and Debian TV card was automaticaly detected and configured.

does the included remote fully work? im purchasing the expert edition of this card and plan to install SuSe linux 9. im just wondering if this will all work nicely together

cheers

Hi,

I've got a Winfast TV 2000XP partially working with Mandrake 9.2, I'm trying to use it for analogue video-capture and I get a good picture but get an init error when I try and capture.....I'm currently at work so can't give full details but will get back later if required.

Thanks for letting me know. All i want to do with mine is just watch TV on it. When you can, leave details about how you did it.

Thanks!

Folks,

I finally got mine working. I had to download the latest bttv drivers and compile those. Also, I edited the kernel source code to hard set the tuner type to 2. All is well now. I now have 2 bttv cards working in linux with mythtv.
