Wot is this?

Yes, this problem is caused by the poor ATI video drivers. fglrx gave me all sorts of troubles. I could not find a solution to this... Other than changing my video card to Nvidia--much better driver support for linux. My ATI card had other colour problems in Linux too. I have never had problems with nvidia cards in Linux. The binary drivers work fine.

i am using on board intel 845gv graphic card
my chipset is intel 82801db

OK thanks for the information.. Here the solution goes:

Open up a terminal and execute:

sudo modprobe bttv

then

sudo modprobe snd_intel8x0 card=* tuner=*

* = number of the card and the tuner

/usr/src/linux/Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST is a list of cards and find out from there your card and card no.. (Make sure you use rmmod snd_intel8x0 before using modprobe) and then you need a tuner number so try and find out which tuner you have and find the number in

"/usr/src/linux/Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.tuner"

and then for example lets say your card number was 11 and tuner no was 2

in the terminal you would type: rmmod saa7134 && modprobe snd_intel8x0 card=11 tuner=2.

and then edit /etc/tvtime/tvtime.xml

change this to the same value as tuner above

<option name="V4LInput" value="2"/>

then tvtime should work

Hope the info helps

Bhavani Shankar.

err.. sorry its rmmod snd_intel8x0 instead of rmmod saa7134 sorry for typo error..

Thank you so much sir.
I think my tv card is not compatible with linux.
I have Z-Cyber Genie Ultra TV/FM Tuner
