| 215217 | 2004-02-13 10:04:00 | I have a Dynalink TView card and can't get it configured in linux. It doesn't find any channels when it scans. I am using fedora, but also have a cd of knoppix, which works with the tvcard. What is happening? Thanks, Simon |

| 215218 | 2004-02-13 10:22:00 | A few things here: Are you certain fedora has picked it up? As root, run: lsmod it'll tell you what modules (drivers in a nutshell) are loaded. Post that list here. Also, try tvtime, it works great on most cards I know of. You can run tvtime-scanner, and it'll scan for channels. I gave it til about 180 then hit Ctrl + C Then, fire up tvtime (Mine only likes being run as root for some reason) and tell it to only list Active Channels, or something to that effect. It'll then only display channels that have reception :-) Hope this helps Chill. |

| 215219 | 2004-02-13 20:40:00 | Here is the list of modules: ppp_deflate ppp_async ppp_generic slhc via82cxxx_audio ac97_codec uart401 sound soundcore parport_pc lp parport autofs 8139too mii ipt_REJECT ipt_state ip_conntrack iptable_filter ip_tables floppy sg sr_mod microcode ide-scsi scsi_mod ide-cd cdrom keybdev hid usb-uhci usbcore mousedev input nvidia ext3 jbd I do use tvtime, and I can't tune to anything with that either. The hardware browse thingy says it finds a capture device "Bt878 Video Capture" |

| 215220 | 2004-02-13 20:53:00 | I'll whip up a quick html web-page in about 5 minutes with my two .xml files that you can throw in ~/.tvtime/ if you like. Try this as root first: modprobe bttv Chill. |

| 215221 | 2004-02-14 01:26:00 | No, modprobe bttv didn't work. Could you do whatever you said with those xml files? Sparq |

| 215222 | 2004-02-14 01:51:00 | I would, but it looks like you dont even have the driver. Go to: bytesex.org Follow those instructions to install the driver. Either that, or get yourself a 2.6 kernel which includes the drivers (My perfered option). Then we'll get you those xml files if tvtime still wont work :-) Cheers Chill. |

| 215223 | 2004-02-14 05:28:00 | modprobe bttv did work, what I meant was that it still doesn't tune sparq |

| 215224 | 2004-02-14 08:01:00 | Oh... In that case, I'll put my .xml files up here: chillingsilence.no-ip.com Give me 3 mins to move the files across to my other PC etc. TVTime only seems to work for me as root, so try puting them in /root/.tvtime also :-) Chill. |
