 |
|
Hi!
I have brought a TV card, Pinnacle PCTV 310i, and after some research I have found out that my card was supported by v4l, however the card parameter should point to 77 (Pinnacle PCTV 110i) as u may notice in here http://www.linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.php/Pinnacle_PCTV_310i.
I have setup the card and later the tunner to 33 (MT20XX since my card uses MT2050), however the output of dmesg was,
| Code: | saa7133[0]: found at 0000:05:06.0, rev: 208, irq: 21, latency: 32, mmio: 0xd0000000

saa7133[0]: registered device video0 [v4l2]

and after starting tvtime and trying to scan for channels I got this msg from the kernel
| Code: | | tuner 0-004b: Tuner has no way to set tv freq |
Does any1 knows how to work around this if there is a work around?
PS - it works with the tda8275a tuner however with results that are far from good....

I have the same card but unfortunately I haven't got it working at all yet. Try tuner=61. If that doesn't work try an older version of v4l.
| Quote: | | If installation works ok for you but you cannot tune with scan, follow this procedure: Look into /var/log/messages for a line containing: "v4l2 driver version". If this is version 0.2.14 you can try to replace it with an older version. 0.2.14 introduced tuning problems for the 300i. Note that the Pinnacle 300i is a hybrid card, for which you can install both tv and dvb-t tuner. For the latter the video4linux drivers of kernels 2.6.12, 2.6.13 and 2.6.13.1 don't work. Use a snapshot here: http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/video4linux/video4linux-20050627.tar.gz Unpack this in /usr/src, cd into it and type "make" followed by "make install". This will directly overwrite installed dvb-t related kernel modules in /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/... If you encounter compilation errors (2.6.13.1 kernel, you will), go into /usr/src/video4linux open up the two files msp3400.c and video-buf-dvb.c, search for the line containing "refrigerator" and remove the content in between the parantheses. Don't remove the parantheses themselves. If the 300i is your only tuner card you can also open up Make.config and change all "m" to "n" in the three CX88 related lines. These steps will workaround the incompatibilities of the old video4linux source code with the newer kernel headers. |

(Better latter than never  )
Well I have it working! I can't get a perfect image but it's more than acceptable.
try this:
| Code: |
modprobe saa7134 card=77 tuner=54
sysctl -w dev.rtc.max-user-freq=1024
|
That last line is just to remove some annoying error/warning messages...I think 
...don't forget to tell me how it went!

Olá,
I have that same card, but I've had no sucess so far, not even a bad image.
Can you confirm the version of the 310i card? My lspci shows | Code: | 01:00.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7133/SAA7135 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev d0)

After modprobe saa7134 card=77 tuner=54 I get this in dmesg | Code: | saa7130/34: v4l2 driver version 0.2.14 loaded

Notice there is nothing with "tuner".
On tvtime I get no signal at all. Would you please name the differences in your logs? I followed the kernel configuration on http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_saa7134. Thanks! |

Do you mind posting your kernel settings regarding v4linux?
And is I2S activated?
Kernel version?

Thanks,
You mean I2C? Yes, it's activated and as of this moment I'm using the mercurial drivers not the kernel ones. These already have card=101 as Pinnacle 310i. The kernel is the more recent gentoo one.
But since my post I've realised the problem might be that there are _several_ versions of the 310i, with different tuners/chips. Could you confirm if yours is the same? TDA10046A+SAA7131E. I can't find a tuner like the one almost everyone mentions:tda8xxx . This TDA10046A does digital and analogue, so at the moment I'm trying to compile the dvb drivers that include hybrids like mine.
I've posted a photo here : http://mega.ist.utl.pt/~nhqb/dsc00189.jpg
Please compare w/ yours (plz!), I'm posting the results at the v4l mailing list to the developers.
Cheers |

Are you trying to get the dvb-t to work or only the analogue part? I've got dvb-t to work. You might get it to work via mercurial. Firmware is needed to get it to work. Ive used http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_saa7134 and a german wiki to get it to work. Sorry I can't find a how done. Still trying to get the remote to work though. But it will work better than the pinnacle software for windoze. Good luck! Try http://linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.php/Pinnacle_PCTV_310i

| Thank you, as for me i discovered that the main problem was that my card got broken. It's only one year old, but I think all this eeprom testing ruined the memory, choosing the wrong drivers may cause this I think. |
