Hi,

I have tried to run my TV tuner but no success.

The TV tuner is AverMedia AverTV Hybrid+FM PCI (saa7135) Silicon.

The result from lspci -v | grep Multimedia is:

I have tried to run my TV tuner but no success.

Would you be more specific?

The tuner cards by themselves do not do anything. The apps you use control the card. Most of the apps require scanning for channels before TV options will function. Both MPlayer and Xine use the same channels.conf config file and the files are the same format (I sym link one to the other). Kaffeine uses its own config file.

I tried with VLC

Code:

vlc -vvv  v4l2:// :v4l2-dev=/dev/video0  :v4l2-width=720 :v4l2-height=576 :tuner-frequency=55250

but gives me this error:

Code:

[0x82b10d8] v4l2 demux error: cannot get video input characteristics (Invalid argument)

and no picrure or sound.
