Pinnacle MediaCenter 300i saa7134/tuner problem

Hi,

I had bought a Pinnacle MediaCenter 300i last year and until about three weeks ago, the card worked like a charme (except remote control). At this point, my card had a technical bug and I gave it to my shop and yesterday, I got a new repaired one back.

Unfortunatly I changed the kernel a thousand times while my card was given away (testing/debugging suspend2 on amd64 requires this) and after putting the card back into my machine, it does not work anymore with saa7134.

I have turned off autodetection and tried card=50 option. But I do not know the tuner value? At the moment I use tuner=33, but only a few tv channels are working with this?

Does someone else have such a card on kernel 2.6.15 (suspend2-sources-r5) and could tell me the card=/tuner= values?

Ah, I have to tell you that I only use the analog tv stuff ;-)

As you can see in /usr/src/linux/include/media/tuner.h

Code: Select all

     70    #define TUNER_MT2032                    33
Do you have any ideas? Could you give me your config? Anything?

Thanks in advance

Well, it seems this is a problem with the driver. After Gentoo was starting up, I only got No Signal. Then I rmmoded tuner and saa7134 and modprobed again. This seems to work. But I have to do this on every startup. :-(

I put

Code: Select all

options tuner no_autodetect=33
options saa7134 card=50 tuner=33
into /etc/modules.d/tv_card

Then modules-update. Dmesg is showing, everything was done okay, but I have to do this procedure, I explained above.

Do you have any ideas?

Regards

Christian
