I would like to install tuner TV@nywere plus on Ubuntu

a first easy test if it is recognized would be to install tvtime, simply type:
sudo apt-get install tvtime
into an terminal (Apps-Acces-Terminal), after that start tvtime, if it works: GREAT!

if not, there might be a way but it is combined with alot of work and it is needed that u provide more infos:

if yourtuner is pci/pci-e post the appropriate line of teh printout of "lspci" (again in a terminal), if usb use "lsub".

Thanx for a quick response.
Iinstalle tvtime, tried to run it from the panel, a small black window poped up and then quickly disapppeared.
My tuner is PCI ,this is what came up when I did "lspci"

Am I giving you guys too much info?
Thanks again for the help
Mike

thx,

as far as i realize following is the entry for your video-capture device:

06:01.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7131/SAA7133/SAA7135 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev d1)

this should be the appropiate page for your device:
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/MSI_TV%40nywhere_A/D_NB

moduls are loaded via:
sudo modprobe [module]
replace the [module] with the needed module.

as far as i assume u will not need to install any drivers, as they are in the kernel already

i would recommend trying mplayer.

to edit the file (/etc/modprobe.d/saa713x) mentioned in configuration use:
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/saa713x

hope u get along.

good luck and don't hasitate to ask;)

Thank you again for your help but I'm still stuck
As per the instructions and the link you gave me,I installed mplayer,I loaded all the listed modules except for "video_buf_dvb", it gave " fatal" remark when I tried.
Example: "sudo modprobe saa7134_empress" and the others seemed to go in ok.
with mplayer I was unable to see any tuner options.
So I loaded Kaffeine, still unable to use tuner
I loaded dvb-util to try to do a channel scan but I was unclear of how exactly
As per your instructions:"to edit the file (/etc/modprobe.d/saa713x) mentioned in configuration use:
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/saa713x "
I did edit the file by copying and pasting this info from the link:
 alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 saa7134
options saa7134 card=94 tuner=67
Then I saved.(Ihope that's how to edit the file)
I am keen on understanding and debugging this but I also appreciate that you probably have better things to do
Be honest Am I too much of a newb to grasp this Or do I have a chance?
Again I appreciate the help.

hi ,

sorry for having you wait so long but i had been without access for the last days.

u edited the file the right way. but as i forget to mention it would have been wise to edit it and then load teh moduls, but anyhow ...

did u ever try again to start mplayer or kaffein? did it work?

if not pls load the modules again and try again.

Thanks wbee, that solved my question.

i also have same problem with my tv tuner card. I followed all the processes discussed above. still i can not use. would you please tell me how to tune and watch tv with mplayer or kaffeine player.
thanks in advance.
