Everything worked after installation except the TV Wonder tuner type was not correct. I fixed this by adding:

alias char-major-81-0 bttv
options bttv autoload=1 card=63 radio=0 pll=1 tuner=2

to /etc/mythtv/modules/bttv


Other hardware (Soyo KT400 Dragon motherboard, NVidia GeForce4 AGP [using nvidia drivers])

append these lines to the same file to get btaudio working on boot:

options btaudio rate=32000 dsp1=1 dsp2=2 mixer=1 debug=2
alias sound-slot-1 btaudio

Do you really have Btaudio working with the TV Wonder???
As far as I can tell no one including Issac has been able to get it to work with the TV Wonder....

I thought the tv wonder worked, but the tv wonder VE did not.

Also note that the above settings are not correct for the TV Wonder VE . I found this out the hard way. I had several total lockups while watching live tv. Then I found this page:

http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/BttvPage

Which listed tons of card and tuner ids. I changed my setting to card=64, and my myth box has been behaving since.

Hope this helps someone...

Ok, not sure whats going on, but Adding those options in the /etc/mythtv/modules/bttv isn't working for me on startup.
I have an ATI TV Wonder PCI. Not the VE.

excerpt from /etc/modules.conf (lines I think were pertanant to the problem)
Code:
### update-modules: start processing /etc/modutils/KnoppMyth
include /etc/mythtv/modules/bttv

### update-modules: end processing /etc/modutils/KnoppMyth

### update-modules: start processing /etc/modutils/actions
# Special actions that are needed for some modules

# The BTTV module does not load the tuner module automatically,
# so do that in here
post-install bttv insmod tuner
post-remove bttv rmmod tuner


/etc/mythtv/modules/bttv
Code:
alias char-major-81-0 videodev
options bttv autoload=1 card=63 radio=0 pll=1 tuner=2


dmesg results for startup, or when I just 'insmod bttv'
syslog results: ( ** added at beggining and end of line for Emphasis)
Code:

I have not modified /etc/modules.conf and I've tried running update-modules as specified for modules.conf now, but on startup, this thing is just not loading correctly. I can't find it set to 19 anywhere else, so I think its getting auto detected, and that its not using the configs correctly. Can anyoine point me in the right direction on getting the modules to do as they are told? :)
I can allways just rmmod and insmod bttv with the manual options later in the startup script, but I'd like to get this working as its supposed too.

Thanks in advance!

[Off Topic]
its very important for anyone who is new to this to look at syslog while troubleshooting this. Just because you have it setup in your config files, doesn't mean its getting run correctly! :)

I found the problem... I don't know why, or the reason but the problem was an option for debug=2 in modules.conf for bttv.

I had a line for btaudio that added a "options bttv debug=2"

Earlier I had the debug=2 line with the options for bttv...

whenever that debug=2 was present for bttv in modules.conf it like ignored my other parameters.. I didn't try putting debug=2 at the end, I just removed it, and its working great now.

so if you are having the problem with knoppix not loading your tuner type right with bttv.. check for debug=2 :)
