Is this TV card able to work on SUSE 10 64bit


I have the following TV Card.

WinTV-Go PLus on Haupages website (I cant post URLs yet)

Linux has identified the device and installed the drivers (as far as i know) but I cant seem to get the thing to pick up TV Channels in the UK. I have tried numerous settings but nothing works. My PC Spec is in my signature

Thanks

wow i didnt know Semprons had 64 bit extensions yet.


sure you not using i586 distro?

anyway i live in Australia Pal-BD

however I could not pick up any TV signals , i manually tried every available Tuner,

eventually found PAL-I worked.

moral try a different tuner setting or even another similar card.


PS sorry dont know the SUSE tv card wizards but is in Yast2 > hardware i presume

AMD have just started to release 64bit Semprons and for the money they are fast. I have tried all the PAL variations and it still would not pick up a signal on anything. Anyone got any ideas?

According to this thread it should be using the bttv module you may want to check in the output of dmesg to see how it gets detected you would be looking for lines similar to this.

Code:
Linux video capture interface: v1.00
bttv: driver version 0.9.15 loaded
bttv: using 8 buffers with 2080k (520 pages) each for capture
bttv: Bt8xx card found (0).
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:0a.0[A] -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 18
PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:0a.0 to 64
bttv0: Bt878 (rev 17) at 0000:00:0a.0, irq: 18, latency: 64, mmio: 0xfdffd000
bttv0: detected: Leadtek WinFast TV 2000 [card=34], PCI subsystem ID is 107d:6606
bttv0: using: Leadtek WinFast 2000/ WinFast 2000 XP [card=34,insmod option]
bttv0: gpio: en=00000000, out=00000000 in=00bf7707 [init]
bttv0: using tuner=2
bttv0: i2c: checking for MSP34xx @ 0x80... not found
bttv0: i2c: checking for TDA9875 @ 0xb0... not found
bttv0: i2c: checking for TDA7432 @ 0x8a... not found
bttv0: i2c: checking for TDA9887 @ 0x86... not found
tuner 0-0061: chip found @ 0xc2 (bt878 #0 [sw])
tuner 0-0061: type set to 2 (Philips NTSC (FI1236,FM1236 and compatibles))
bttv0: registered device video0
bttv0: registered device vbi0
bttv0: registered device radio0
bttv0: PLL: 28636363 => 35468950 .. ok
bttv0: add subdevice "remote0"
Most likely the problem you are having is with the tuner on the card getting mis-detected at least that is what has happened to me with both my cards I have used. You can use modprobe -r bttv then modprobe bttv tuner=?? to tell it to load a specific tuner for the module. Here is a list of the tuner numbers I would go with the ones for PAL obviously just keep repeated the commands until you find the correct tuner.

Code:
 tuner=0 - Temic PAL (4002 FH5)
tuner=1 - Philips PAL_I (FI1246 and compatibles)
tuner=2 - Philips NTSC (FI1236,FM1236 and compatibles)
tuner=3 - Philips (SECAM+PAL_BG) (FI1216MF, FM1216MF, FR1216MF)
tuner=4 - NoTuner
tuner=5 - Philips PAL_BG (FI1216 and compatibles)
tuner=6 - Temic NTSC (4032 FY5)
tuner=7 - Temic PAL_I (4062 FY5)
tuner=8 - Temic NTSC (4036 FY5)
tuner=9 - Alps HSBH1
tuner=10 - Alps TSBE1
tuner=11 - Alps TSBB5
tuner=12 - Alps TSBE5
tuner=13 - Alps TSBC5
tuner=14 - Temic PAL_BG (4006FH5)
tuner=15 - Alps TSCH6
tuner=16 - Temic PAL_DK (4016 FY5)
tuner=17 - Philips NTSC_M (MK2)
tuner=18 - Temic PAL_I (4066 FY5)
tuner=19 - Temic PAL* auto (4006 FN5)
tuner=20 - Temic PAL_BG (4009 FR5) or PAL_I (4069 FR5)
tuner=21 - Temic NTSC (4039 FR5)
tuner=22 - Temic PAL/SECAM multi (4046 FM5)
tuner=23 - Philips PAL_DK (FI1256 and compatibles)
tuner=24 - Philips PAL/SECAM multi (FQ1216ME)
tuner=25 - LG PAL_I+FM (TAPC-I001D)
tuner=26 - LG PAL_I (TAPC-I701D)
tuner=27 - LG NTSC+FM (TPI8NSR01F)
tuner=28 - LG PAL_BG+FM (TPI8PSB01D)
tuner=29 - LG PAL_BG (TPI8PSB11D)
tuner=30 - Temic PAL* auto + FM (4009 FN5)
tuner=31 - SHARP NTSC_JP (2U5JF5540)
tuner=32 - Samsung PAL TCPM9091PD27
tuner=33 - MT20xx universal
tuner=34 - Temic PAL_BG (4106 FH5)
tuner=35 - Temic PAL_DK/SECAM_L (4012 FY5)
