I hope to be right in this section, if not, please move my post to the right one.
Now my Question:
I have a TV-Card (Medion Saa7134 PCI) and I know the settings to be given to the module saa7134 to bring up the card running, but I have no Idea, how to set up the module in sidux. The module itself seems to be loaded automaticly while loading the kernel.
The card is like a "Multicard". It has two tuners (one for DVB-T , Satelite(DVB-S) and Cable TV(analog)) and a Radio, too.
I only need the Tuner for Cable-TV.
The correct settingss for the module saa7134 are:
Code:
modprobe saa7134 card=12 tuner=63 oss=1
to bring up the Cable-Tuner running.
The option "oss=1" is needed to get sound with sox, because, the sound is routed via PCI and that PCI bus is a special one, only built for Medion (PC 8386XL) and I don't know another way to get sound from this card. (so this workaround will work fine for me until a better one is known  )
for the DVB-T Tuner the settings would be
card=93 (Medion saa7134 Bridge#2) (This only for information, I don't need DVB-T)
towo| gave me a hint to create a file named "saa7134" in /etc/modprobe. I created that file, using an existing one as template. It still does not work.
This is the code inside the file:
Code:
install /dev/video0 modprobe saa7134 card=12 tuner=63 oss=1
install /dev/video1 modprobe saa7134 card=93
Can anyone tell me, how to set Parameters to that module saa7134 ?
Thank you for Your time...

Hi,
i guess I have currently a Medion/Tevion SAA7134 card in use, but mine has only analog antenna-input for tv and radio and Cinch an svhs-input, no DVB-Input of any kind at all (this is the reason I currently buy another one), so maybe we are not talking exactly about the same card.
My current settings (/etc/modprobe/saa7134)are as follows:
options saa7134 card=48 tuner=23 video_nr=0 vbi_nr=0 radio_nr=0
install saa7134 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install saa7134; /sbin/modprobe saa7134-alsa
options saa7134-alsa index=1
This is activating the card as a Terratec Cinergy 600 but really works very well over here. You can also try card=12 which should be the correct entry for the card medion saa7134
Hope those infos help a little bit
regards
Reiner Schmidt
edit:
You might want to find the exact type of your card as root in an console with lspci -nn.
Mine is shown as 1131:7134 |

Hi Reiner,
thanks for answering.
I know the exact type of my TV Card well. That's the reason, why I know the parameters for setting up the kernel module.
I think to be able bringing up my card running by using your extract of the file saa7134 with the needed parameters.
It's only the syntax, I need, the parameters are clear.
I will post again and - maybe - close the threas as "solved" (I hope so...)
stay tuned
btw.: how do you get the sound from your TV card ?
is there any other way to get sound, but with sox ?
It's not possible to connect the card to a soundcard (in my PC this is an onboard soundcard: hda-intel. It works fine.)
The sound is exclusively routet over the PCI bus (see my post above) and there is no way to connect the card to a soundcard, for example. (Neither inside the PC nor outside, there are no ports...)
But this question only by the way... |

Hi maiemi,
I am using sound also via the ON-Board sound-card. But mine has two connectors on it (Aux and CDrom). So I use a "normal" sound-cable to connect from the tv-Card to the sound (Aux) input.
Another way (oldfashioned in the meantime) is to connect the sound -output of the tv-card directly to the Line-In of the soundcard. But then you loose the Line-In or you have to replug everytime you need Line-In (or have to use some kind of switchbox)

Hello Reiner,
now the TV Card is running. Your extract of the file saa7134 (syntax) helped me. Thank you very much.
There is no way to connect the TV Card to a sounddevice, because there are no ports to plug with. (neither inside the PC nor outside, see my post above).
I still have to set up sox to get sound.
This will be my next step. |
