Hi all,

I have installed AVerTV Super 007 TV card. I have compiled saa7134 modules to use it.
I have installed TVTime and Zaping to watch TV, however.... I don't know how to search for channels.
Automatic station Search in Zapping is disabled. tvtimescanner does not help neither.

How do I troubleshoot? Which ap to choose to watch TV?

AVerTV Super 007 Users, please help.

I found my card number [117] and when I load saa7134 module with insmod 117 it also load tuner module.
As a result I get chanell options in tvtime. tvtime-scaner does not complain any more - it's searching for channels and it's even saying to have found some.

But I still cannot watch TV. What am I missing?

Are there really no one having AVerTV Superr 007 working?

I found in the kernel code that tuner is Philips TDA8290
Code:
        [SAA7134_BOARD_AVERMEDIA_SUPER_007] = {
                .name           = "Avermedia Super 007",
                .audio_clock    = 0x00187de7,
                .tuner_type     = TUNER_PHILIPS_TDA8290,
                .radio_type     = UNSET,
                .tuner_addr     = ADDR_UNSET,
                .radio_addr     = ADDR_UNSET,
                .tuner_config   = 0,
                .mpeg           = SAA7134_MPEG_DVB,
                .inputs = {{
                        .name   = name_tv, /* FIXME: analog tv untested */
                        .vmux   = 1,
                        .amux   = TV,
                        .tv     = 1,
                }},
        },


From the documentation
# grep "TDA 8290" Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.tuner wrote:
tuner=54 - Philips/NXP TDA 8290/8295 + 8275/8275A/18271
I know this is tuner number 54.

When I
Code:
modprobesaa7134 card=117 tuner=54
I get the same results in tvtime i.e. I can search for channels but I can't see any...

I got it to work but there's no sound. I'm loading saa7134-alsa but still no sound.
I can work around it with "arecord -D hw:1,0 -r 32000 -c 2 -f S16_LE | aplay -" but I cannot control sound from tvtime then. Additionally, video and audio get unsynchronized quickly.

Any hints here?

I was thinking about buying the same card http://www.avermedia.com/avertv/Product/ProductDetail.aspx?Id=22 . Just seen it in my local store.

Can you describe briefly what are the steps of setup you did, and what is currently working ?

1) Install you card
2) Configure and compile kernel. Reboot.
3) load saa7135 module passing card=117. Unload first if loaded
4) Use this "arecord -D hw:1,0 -r 32000 -c 2 -f S16_LE | aplay -" if you can't hear sound

I'm still hesitating if to buy this card or not.

From your original message i understood you had some issues.
I'm fairly new to linux and gentoo, but if i understand this correctly
there might be different (may be better) driver for this card.
If you look in the last kernel (.28 series) changes you can see this
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=36f6bb97caa772d7dc42250db74253e0867a444a
And the number for this diver seems to be 149 based on this card list
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.saa7134;h=2023c4020ac747c558c72430bad218c3dda1c2cb;hb=36f6bb97caa772d7dc42250db74253e0867a444a

What do you think ?
