phillips pci tv tuner w/fm saa7130

Asked by Dennis L Huffman

 I tried going thru Windows from Ubuntu to try to use Honestech to watch tv but didn't work. Then I tried this :dennis@dennis-desktop:~$ lspci

but I don't know what to do now. I works on XP but XP crashes alot which ticks me off to no end,if you get my drift. If anyone has a solution,I'm all ears or should II say eyes.

You need install this packages open a Terminal and command:

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-v4l
sudo apt-get install tvtime

Now you need search wath is the model of your TV card and change teh modules to Card and Tuner:
on this site: http://linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.php/Saa713x_devices
 Example:

For a Encore ENLTV-FM

sudo modprobe -r saa7130_alsa
sudo modprobe -r saa7130_dvb
sudo modprobe -r saa7130
sudo modprobe saa7134 card=2 tuner=37

            I have one more problem before I proceed,first jacobS I want to thank you. you helped me tremendously. I am what some would call a binary virgin so to speak. I now need to know how to make a file. Like,with this 411:
Sabrent SBT-TVFM
From V4LWiki
Jump to: navigation, search

Make sure you have the latest version of v4l-dvb. You can use the tutorial found at http://www.linuxtv.org/repo/

To get this card to work in NTSC_M, create the following file
File: /etc/modprobe.d/saa7134

options saa7134 card=42 tuner=17

[Note: Some newer card variants need 'tuner=69' or 'tuner=43' instead of 'tuner=17']

Options: Cards supported by your kernel are available in the files

Card list - /usr/src/linux/Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.saa7134
Tuner list - /usr/src/linux/Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.tuner

Then reload the driver by typing

rmmod saa7134
modprobe saa7134

You can now run a program such as tvtime [or xawtv or kdetv or motv] to view your television channels:

tvtime

If you get a scrambled picture make sure that you have module tda9887 loaded

modprobe tda9887

Ok, follow the instructions:

1.- Open a Terminal and command:

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-v4l
sudo apt-get install tvtime

2.- Reload the modules with this orders (please ignore the messages of prompt):

sudo modprobe -r saa7130_alsa
sudo modprobe -r saa7130_dvb
sudo modprobe -r saa7130
sudo modprobe saa7130 card=42 tuner=17

3.- To check your configuration:

dmesg |grep saa

4 Aplications > Multimedia > and Launch Tvtime
If you a lucky probably can see TV.

If not, close a Tvtime and open a Terminal:

sudo modprobe -r saa7130_alsa
sudo modprobe -r saa7130_dvb
sudo modprobe -r saa7130
sudo modprobe saa7130 card=42 tuner=69

(need a correct Card number and Tuner number to work fine, this process is named "hacking", remember:Some newer card variants need 'tuner=69' or 'tuner=43' instead of 'tuner=17 )

5. Very Important: When do you "hack" (see TV) need create a new file in

/etc/modprobe.d/saa7130

To do it use gedit, open terminal and:

gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/saa7130

6.- Copy exactly this only one line into /etc/modprobe.d/saa7130:

options saa7130 card=69 tuner=17

(0r the correct tuner and card)

7.- Save the changes, please.

Please send me the results.
God Luck, Dennis

FATAL: Module saa7130 not found. TVTIME is there but no picture or sound,just configuration box.

Please, post a terminal command:

dmesg |grep saa

It didn't work. It was like a dark orangy-violet curtin with no sound but that caused my avi & mpeg files to do the same thing. so I did a soft of auto reconfiguration at the restore section at reboot

jacobS (jacsalomon) said :
#13

This is very rare, dmesg can't report nothing, please after reboot (copy and paste in Terminal):

dmesg |grep saa

or

dmesg

Then report a prompt that a part similar to this:

Linux video capture interface: v2.00
saa7130/34: v4l2 driver version 0.2.14 loaded
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:04.0[A] -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 169
saa7130[0]: found at 0000:02:04.0, rev: 1, irq: 169, latency: 32, mmio: 0xff9ff400........

Probably I'm wrong and you have a saa7134, no saa7130

Please don't be worry, reboot your pc and try this (first tree remove a saa7134, and saa7134_dvb probably have a Fatal, is normal, first to last, if not the module is not removed)

sudo modprobe -r saa7134_alsa
sudo modprobe -r saa7134_dvb
sudo modprobe -r saa7134

This order reinstall a module saa7134 with a new card combination:

sudo modprobe saa7134 card=3 tuner=37

if have a Fatal, please post me.

The violet screen, represent at not match card and tuner.

this is what came up on both dmesg |grep saa & dmesg

as for this I have no clue what to do:

     Then report a prompt that a part similar to this:

 I tried the last 4 steps at the terminal now the tv screen is blue & no signal

This I mean: sudo modprobe -r saa7134_alsa
sudo modprobe -r saa7134_dvb
sudo modprobe -r saa7134

This order reinstall a module saa7134 with a new card combination:

sudo modprobe saa7134 card=3 tuner=37

Dennis, the card and tuner not match.

1 Close Tvtime, and not scan, is better type, a number of favorite video channel (Example: 02)

You need a several tries, remember: need forced unload module before change it.

sudo modprobe -r saa7134_alsa
sudo modprobe -r saa7134_dvb
sudo modprobe -r saa7134
sudo modprobe saa7134 card=42

Dennis

reboot your PC please, (comment below is a speak comment, please don't type ((saa7134: card=42 -> Sabrent SBT-TVFM (saa7130))) in Terminal).

I suger this trys:

1 Close Tvtime and:

sudo modprobe -r saa7134_alsa
sudo modprobe -r saa7134_dvb
sudo modprobe -r saa7134
sudo modprobe saa7134 card=42 tuner=17

2 Open Tvtime, if not seen Tv

sudo modprobe -r saa7134_alsa
sudo modprobe -r saa7134_dvb
sudo modprobe -r saa7134
sudo modprobe saa7134 card=42 tuner=69

3 Or (remember close and open)

sudo modprobe -r saa7134_alsa
sudo modprobe -r saa7134_dvb
sudo modprobe -r saa7134
sudo modprobe saa7134 card=42 tuner=43

4 Or

sudo modprobe -r saa7134_alsa
sudo modprobe -r saa7134_dvb
sudo modprobe -r saa7134
sudo modprobe saa7130 card=42 tuner=17

4 Or

sudo...........

The problem is What is the Tuner?

[Note: Some newer card variants need 'tuner=69' or 'tuner=43' instead of 'tuner=17']

Dennis, this effect is for a incorrect tuner, the VCR and TV work fine whit a correct match of card + tuner+ saa713x .

Note: If you dude of connection try with Windows, and see the TV and VCR, if works not nothing incorrect

Exactly you lost the configuration you remember in a post:

5. Very Important: When do you "hack" (see TV) need create a new file in

/etc/modprobe.d/saa7134

To do it use gedit, open terminal and:

gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/saa7134

6.- Copy exactly this only one line into /etc/modprobe.d/saa7130:

options saa7130 card=42 tuner=43

If it is wrong, do not work.

Dennis is wrong, (I think) , I say a incorrect instruction (sorry) the correct instructions:

options saa7134 card=42 tuner=43

1.- You need edit the archive with:

gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/saa7134

2. Change saa7130 for saa7134

Save the changes.

2.- Maybe you need a load the module at boot, to do this you need edit (please, do not erase the content you need only aggregate):

gksudo gedit /etc/modules

And aggregate this two lines (cut and paste):

# Module to load video capture
saa7134

3.- Reboot your PC

            2)I Can get dvds to play just the intro about copy right infringement(green screen) that's it. It said something about incryption

Dear Jacob,
I know it's been a long time since the last post about this thread but I can't make my TV Tuner to work

Im From Argentina so none of tuner=17, 69 or 43 works (NTSC) we have PAL-N system
Using Card=42 at least I have "snow" on TVTime but when I start TVTIme using a console I get this

Code
jose@josh:~$ tvtime
Ejecutando tvtime 1.0.2.

Gracias por usar tvtime.

So the problem must be the tunner, how come you could give me a hand about this?
thanks!
