I'm trying to work with the tvtimer, but I have "no input signal", I really don't know what else to do....

I'll appreciate any help

[Juan Pablo]

Try this

sudo modprobe saa7134
ls /dev/video*
dmesg | tail

Post all the output here, wait 3 to 4 seconds between commands, especially before dmesg
EDIT:
Found some more info

Sorry, you will need to repost in English, I was contacte by a moderator and to ozar, yes, I think I broke the rules

[abenavar]

Thanks for your help Juan Pablo, there it goes the output you told me...

And I don't know if is necessary, but this is my modprobe.conf file, 'cause I've been manipulating it lately...

alias char-major-81-0 saa7134
options saa7134 tuner=17 card=2 noninterlaced=1 video_nr=0


echo "options saa7134 card=2 noninterlaced=1 video_nr=0" >/etc/modules.d/saa713$



And again, thanks!

I've been install the VLC media player, but I have no idea where I can choose the input device, I mean, the dev/videoX...

[Juan Pablo]

Are you using the wxGTK (graphical) version? If so just open

File - Open Capture Device

Just put the settings there and you are done

You can also use a line like this

vlc v4l:// :v4l-vdev="/dev/video" :v4l-adev="/dev/dsp" :v4l-norm=3 :v4l-frequency=-1

[abenavar]

Well, I think it isn't about it, 'cause I all ready did it and nothing happend, I still have no input signal....

[Juan Pablo]

I see you have two device nodes, /dev/video and /dev/video0, I suppose you have tried both.

It should be working but you will need to tune it to get a channel working

However, some of the changes you made to your modprobe.conf don't look quiet correct.

The link I posted has a a lot of useful information.

[abenavar]

I'll work on my modprobe.conf....

Thank you very much for your help!

Hi, I all ready have the tvtunner card recognized, but everytime I open some aplication to watch tv, it just falls down, I have no way to try the working of the card, I've tryng with several aplications: XawTV, TvTime (wich is the only one the doen't falls down, but I says "No input signal"), MPlayer... etc.

Any idea?
