I thought I'd try to update the video4linux drivers as some new drivers for the saa7134 module support the kworld card that I bought.
I did look through the posts here, and found a couple of ref's to the card, but no solide solution though.
I know enough just to be dangerous  , so I downloaded the v4l source (with the new code for saa7134) did a make, and make install and it appears that all of the modules got updated under /lib/modules/media...
I reboot and I still get the Unknown/Generic message in the card discovery section of dmesg, so I'm assuming the card is not recognized.
I've upgraded my kernel to 2.6.15.4 and tried it, still no go.
I've running Knoppmyth 30R1.
Anybody updated drivers before who might be able to give me some insight?
Here are the relative lines from dmesg if it helps:

Looks like I'll need to answer my own problem on this. But just in case anyone else had the same problem.
1. Installed kernel 2.6.15.4
2. modified /etc/lilo.conf
3. ran "lilo" to re-read the lilo.conf (this is where I screwed up last time)
4. download v4l source
5. tar into the src directory
6. cd /hg-v4l-.........
7. run "make"
8. run "make install"
9. reboot

I am sorry. I am such a newbie at Linux and MythTV. I am using the same TV Tuner (ATSC-110) but I can not get my card to be recognized in MythTV. I see your steps there but I was wondering if you can expand on them. Just so you have an idea of how dumb in Linux I am...I haven't even figured out how to see the contents of a text file in the command line. I really hope you can help me out.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry it took so long but I'll expand on this a bit.
Since I did the original post, I've installed R5B7 and everything got a bit simpler since I didn't have to upgrade the kernel. So assuming you're running R5B7, this is what you'll need to do.
I apologize for the state of this documentation, as my writing skills suck. But hopefully you can follow through it.
1. using a browser goto the v4l mercurial project page:
http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb?cmd=manif ... yle=gitweb
2. click on 'bz2' near the top to download the source tree archive
3. drop the file into your /usr/src directory
4. then you need to unzip the file by typing the following:
Code: tar xjvf hg*.bz2 I used hg* as the file name changes as the versions change 5. if the unzip went well, you should now have a directory called /usr/src/hg-v4l-?????? 6. Now you need to make and make install so do this: Code: cd /usr/src/hg*
make
make install
this should take a few minutes depending on your machine.
7. Now you need to get the firmware. You can do this by running the /usr/src/hg*/Linux/Documentation/get_dvb_firmware script (or PM me and I'll send it to you).
8. Place a copy of the firmware file (dvb-fe-nxt2004.fw) in your /lib/firmware directory.
9. Lastely, edit your /etc/modules file and insert an 'saa7134-dvb' right after the saa7134 entry that should already exist in the file.
10 At this point reboot.
11. log in as root and do a dmesg, you should see your card identified. and you MAY see the firmware loaded, although this may not happen until you actually try to 'use' the card with myth the first time.
Assuming your card was recognized, you can follow the standard directions for adding HDTV channels. If you need help with this, there are lots of messages on this board that already explain how to do it. If you still have trouble, just PM me on this .

so... you got the card to work in mythtv with the above procedure? what is your opinion of it? quality? do both the analog and digital tuners work well with knoppmyth? (should we start a new thread for a review of the kworld atsc-110?)
thanks for the instuctions. i'm considering this card because it's inexpensive, has digital and analog tuners, and comes with a remote control. from what i understood, though, it doesn't play well with linux.
thanks!!!

I bought the card mainly because it had the ATSC and S-Video capabilities, but at the end of the day, at least based on my playing with it, you have to set it up as ATSC OR S-Video. If you try to configure both thing get a little strange.
The quality of the recordings is great, however the size of the files are HUGE, a 30 minute recording is over 4GB.
With all of the work it took to get the card working, and the fact that the remote doesn't work (or at least I've not found anybody who has it working) I should have probably waited and purchased a HDTV card with an MPEG2 processor on board.

Hi john1266
We have similar cards at work I think may even be the same card, these are imported by jetway who used to re-brand kworld cx88 cards so they are probably the same.
I've found an image of these on the web details on another post
http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=10436&highlight=saa7133
What I want to know is, is this the same card ?
And
Is it the same set of steps in R5C7 to get the driver to work ??
I am realy stuffed at the moment as all my suppliers seem to have droped the cheep dvb-t cards that work.

I have followed all of the instructions for getting the Kworld ATSC110 to work and I can't seem to get it.
one question before I make an easy mistake, under the capture card setup what is the card type? I have been using the DVB DTV capture card, but I don't know if that is correct.
EDIT:
when I do a dmesg I am fine until I get to:
"mt352_read_register: readreg error (reg=127, ret==-5)
saa7133[0]: frontend initialization failed"

Sorry, it's been a while since I've doing the mythtv stuff.
simonf - yes that is the same card.
djpm05 - I guess my first question would be as to which version of knoppmyth are you using? I just recently re-built my system using R5D1, and I didn't have to go through the steps I did before (rebuilt kernel etc...) everything is there for it to work.
In mythtv-setup - capture cards, you should see the card (frontend id something like nxt200??) when you select the DVB DTV Card type. If you don't see it there, then the drivers didn't load.
You may want to post some more of you dmesg, starting from
Code: bttv: driver version 0.9.16 loaded

The thing that weirds me out is that it had recognized the card as "NXT200X..", but told me it failed to load when I tried to do a scan of the channels. After I rebooted, it wouldn't even see the card was there. I'll post the dmesg when I get home.

Not sure about that version 2.0 thing, maybe that is the Mythtv version, Knoppmyth is at R5D4.
If you do a 'dmesg | grep kworld' does it return anything? You may also check to see if the firmware is being loaded by doing 'dmesg | grep firmware'.
Again, I'd have a much clearer picture if you posted the dmesg output

OK, I'm not seeing the card recognized at all in that dmesg.
You may want to download the R5D4 release of knoppmyth as I know the V4L drivers for the KWORLD ATSC 110 are in there.
What you're looking for in dmesg is something like
Code: saa7130/34: v4l2 driver version 0.2.14 loaded

I have R5C7 loaded, followed the instructions to the letter. now when I start the computer it shows me it's loading the NXT2004 firmware, and it recognizes the card. when I try to scan for channels it tells me "Failed to open the card" did my card somehow go bad out of nowhere?
