This is any excellent bargain! I was available to pick one up at a local computer show for $33.00 +tax. The card includes an FM tuner(currently not used in Myth, but I have include GKrellm-radio in KnoppMyth) and a remote control. The card is a KW-TV878RF-PRO. To get it work:

Code:
alias char-major-89 i2c-dev
options i2c-core i2c_debug=1
options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 bttv
alias char-major-81-1 tvaudio
options bttv card=78 radio=1 pll=1 tuner=2 bttv_gpio=1
options tuner debug=1 type=2

Cesman,
I got this card too and was having an awful time getting it to work with r4.

i get video, and it starts out fine then slows to a crawl. I'm using S-video for input. I couldn't get video from the coax line, so i'm not sure if the audio out on this card is working either.

I imagine using the coax input and the btaudio out. If using coax do i choose Television or Composite 1, composite 3.


You post is from Sept so do i still have to enter in this info in /etc/modules/bttv?

I have a XP1700 with 512k

Sorry to dump on you.....

Thanks
Chris

Make a file called User in /etc/modutils/ with the values. The card was for a friend and I no longer have it. I had no issues with it for the period I had it. It isn't supported by btaudio.

that is not a command that is a line you add to a file.

What file, exactly, do I put that code in? Do I make a file called User or %user% (for example, I have a user called "mythtv" and a user is called "mardy" that knoppmyth created automiticly). Do I just edit the bttv file in the etc/mythtv/modules dir?

My bttv file contains the code
Code:
alias char-major-81   videodev


should I change it to the code in the above post?


Do I have to reboot the comp afterwards?

easiest way is to edit the bttv file you found and run update-modules then reboot.

Thanks for your help Xsecrets.

The only line that seems to make a difference is "options bttv card=78 radio=1". The other lines seem to produce wierd things like repeating lines in dmesg:
Code:
bttv0: gpio: en=00000007, out=00000004 in=003ffff8 [audio: off]
bttv0: gpio: en=00000007, out=00000004 in=003ffff8 [audio: off]
bttv0: gpio: en=00000007, out=00000004 in=003ffff8 [audio: off]
bttv0: gpio: en=00000007, out=00000004 in=003ffff8 [audio: off]
bttv0: gpio: en=00000007, out=00000004 in=003ffff8 [audio: off]


But then I also get errors like this:
Code:
bttv0: i2c: checking for TDA9875 @ 0xb0... not found
bttv0: i2c: checking for TDA7432 @ 0x8a... not found

tveeprom: Unknown symbol i2c_attach_client
tveeprom: Unknown symbol i2c_master_send


It seems I can restart the hardware by typing
Code:
rmmod bttv
rmmod tuner
modprobe bttv
Shoud I not do this? Do I still need to reboot?


I've read about putting these lines to this file "/etc/modules.conf" instead. Is there a difference? Which chould I edit?

My dmesg outbput seems to reference "bttv" as well as "bttv0". I have only one card. Do I need to edit both files with the same info?
