 |
|
Hello all ! 
I have a Medion MD41300 laptop with a tv tuner module.
(kind of http://www.avermedia.com/cgi-bin/products_tvtuner_avertvusb2.asp in internal 'way' to replace the laptop dvd driver)
lusb gives me
| Code: | | Bus 001 Device 002: ID 07ca:e860 AVerMedia Technologies, Inc. |
I don't know which chips this AverTV is using but I founded informations about the v3.0 @ http://www.digit-life.com/articles2/aver-tv-usb/
This version is using these chips:
- Winbond W9968CF
- Philips SAA7111AHZ
- PT2313L
I don't know if it's the same for the 2.0...
I found nothing about "what's inside" on the web 
I checked in the kernel config and enable these settings (2.6.4):
| Code: | # Multimedia devices
CONFIG_VIDEO_DEV=y
# Video For Linux
# Video Adapters
CONFIG_VIDEO_BT848=y
# Digital Video Broadcasting Devices
CONFIG_DVB=y
CONFIG_DVB_CORE=y
# Supported SAA7146 based PCI Adapters
CONFIG_DVB_AV7110=y
CONFIG_DVB_BUDGET=y
CONFIG_DVB_BUDGET_CI=y
CONFIG_DVB_BUDGET_AV=y
# Supported BT878 Adapters
CONFIG_VIDEO_SAA7146=y
CONFIG_VIDEO_SAA7146_VV=y
CONFIG_VIDEO_VIDEOBUF=y
CONFIG_VIDEO_TUNER=y
CONFIG_VIDEO_BUF=y
CONFIG_VIDEO_BTCX=y
CONFIG_VIDEO_IR=y
# USB support
# USB Multimedia devices
CONFIG_USB_W9968CF=y
|
From here, dmesg gives me:
| Code: | Linux video capture interface: v1.00
bttv: driver version 0.9.12 loaded
bttv: using 8 buffers with 2080k (520 pages) each for capture
tvaudio: TV audio decoder + audio/video mux driver
tvaudio: known chips: tda9840,tda9873h,tda9874h/a,tda9850,tda9855,tea6300,tea6420,tda8425,pic16c54 (PV951),ta8874z
saa7146: register extension 'budget dvb'.
saa7146: register extension 'budget dvb /w video in'.
saa7146: register extension 'budget_ci dvb'.
saa7146: register extension 'dvb'. |
And then ? I don't know what to do...
I have no device in /dev linked to the tv tuner 
(so tvtime cannot run)
Could you tell me if I'm in the right way and what to do to make it work ?
Thank you all  |

Sorry, no support yet for AverMedia TV USB2.0.
(But if you feel adventurous, feel free to implement your own driver)

| Today this problem and is not solved? I too have AverMedia AverTV USB 2.0. And only the question of this driver prevents me to proceed now on Gentoo from Windows XP:-/ |

i've been talking with the guys on V4L for a while now and it seems the chipsets the card uses is for PCI based tv tuners. But somehow there's a usb2pci chip before the actual tuner-chip.
The guys didn't feel like writing one (as they have no hardware to test it with) and i'm too lazy/uncompetent to write one.
So it seems that dual-boot still is in order to watch tv. |

Hello,
I also have a notebook with AverMedia TV USB 2.0 that I am not able to get working.
I am looking forward to hearing some more news related to this topic, as this is the only thing keeping me running a windows partition. |

Hello,
I have a HP nx6110 notebook that is running only on Gentoo and I really love it. Although the one downside is that I had to give up TV on my notebook when I got rid of Windows.
I also have an avermedia USB 2.0 TV tuner and was wondering if there has been any progress in getting this device working in linux?
Thanks. |
