I baught PixelView Pro3 TV Tuner Card based on Philips 7130 chipset. I am trying to setup this card in Linux. Please give me details about how to setup the card. I have Fedora Core6 32-bit and Mandriva 2007 Spring 64-bit.

I used TVTime but it is not working!

As root, edit /etc/modprobe.conf and add/update:

option saa7134 card=42

Then issue these two commands (should work automatically after boot with the modprobe.conf change):

modprobe -r saa7134
modprobe saa7134 card=42

I have done changes.
If i do tvtime-scanner in command line:
Reading configuration from /etc/tvtime/tvtime.xml
Reading configuration from /home/pradeep/.tvtime/tvtime.xml
Scanning using TV standard PAL-N.
/home/pradeep/.tvtime/stationlist.xml: No existing PAL-N station list "Custom".
videoinput: Driver refuses to set norm: Invalid argument

Your capture card driver: saa7134 [Sabrent SBT-TVFM (saa7130)/PCI:0000:00:0d .0/526]
does not support full size studio-quality images required by tvtime.
This is true for many low-quality webcams. Please select a
different video device for tvtime to use with the command line
option --device.

if i open tv-time i am seeing the message in screen

Frames too short from saa7134
Cannot open capture device /dev/video0.

Check /var/log/messages to see what messages are generated when you issue the two modprobe commands.

It doesn't appear that the card type is matching the hardware; what messages do you get in /var/log/messages when you run the two modprobe commands without the 'card=42' option? Does it auto-detect a different card type?

modprobe command without the 'card=42' :
It is detecting same card.

Did you remember to remove/comment the modprobe.conf entry?

In TvTime i chaged to Telivisition standard to NTSC and i run tvtime-scanner --input=1 in command 20 channels were detected.

but in Tvtime nothing is coming.

The solution is simple, just change the video output to CVBS on the video source, because it is set to RGB or YUV causes TVtime to show blue screen and report no signal... Because if you try "QT V4L2 Test Utility" it works and TVtime not, because the input video source format is, RGB, YUV, etc.
