CAN ANYONE HELP ME PLEASE.

Yes, TV cards are difficult to configure (although some people report having no problems). I think it depends on the chipset your card is using, and whether or not Mandriva supports this.

You can get situations where the same 2 cards have slightly different chipsets; this makes it hard to get agreement between people over how to fix certain problems.

A good place to start is a guide like this. You might get lucky.

This might also help, though it's not about your card. Good luck!

this is the best i could find. it is on the gentoo site, but is a generic workaround. HARDWARE saa7134 - Gentoo Linux Wiki good luck.

Hi,
It took almost 1 year search for solution.
finally i got it working perfectly and i verified in different distirbutions also.
documented the same here.
