Does anyone have any ideas on how to get saa7134-dvb to load automatically when booting. It's a pain.

It's getting ignored when put into /etc/modules

I was able to do the setup and scan. I couldn't watch TV though, it couldn't get a lock. Hmm. Not sure if I'm running the right input. I'm on the BOTTOM one for ATSC, right?
After reboot, the card went away. How do I make it "stick". Oh yeah, I probably have to add to my modules file (I took it out, to help troubleshoot something else).

Had to break to eat, now wifey and I are watching "24" season 5 on DVD, but I should be able to play later.

The ATSC Antenna input is the top one on the card.

How do you get both inputs to work (not at the same time)? I downloaded and compiled the latest SVN. I can get OTA ATSC signal from the top port but nothing from the bottom NTSC analog cable port. I set it up with the DVB and then selected the analog option as dev/v4l/video1 which says is the Kworld card.

Just found some down time to install my new KWorld card. Wouldn't 'find' the card in setup, but I just read this thread and added "saa7134 and saa7134-dvb" lines to the /etc/modules file and rebooted. BAM! I've got another working card.

The remote patch looks interesting too... But for now, I'm watching the rose bowl!

For some reason when I add the saa7134-dvb into /etc/modules it's completely ignored. It seems that no one knows why.

So I have to kill the backend and modprobe both modules everytime I do a reboot.

I have submitted the remote code as a patch to the v4l/dvb list so it can be added to the respository. If you download the v4l/dvb cvs in a couple of days, then the remote code should be there.

Remember to include this in the /etc/modules files so the remote can work properly.

Same here. I wonder if I could inject those commands into bootmisc.sh? I may try that tonight.
I don't fully understand the boot process though, and don't know where/when the backend gets started. Moving it may help my random (50/50) backend start problems though.

yep... having the same problem with the firmware loading on boot, too. i might fiddle with the boot script, too. i'll report back here if i find any success.

Edit /etc/init.d/KnoppMyth-tv. Near the bottom, you'll see a modprobe for nvram. Below that, add the modprobe for the modules you want to load. Please report back.

I'm going to try that. Just don't understand why the changes to /etc/modules
is getting ignored.

Dale and I have talked about it and think it is related to udev. A report back on your success or failure would be appreciated. Another thing I'd like you to try is commenting the modprobe lines for the dvb modules and add: Again, a report back on your success or failure would be appreciated.

WORKED!!!
After reboot, the card is there, and can be setup. I did the channel scan, recorded a show (I know because I recorded 3 shows simultaneously), rebooted, the recordings are all going again. WooHoo!!

Here's the relevant fix in /etc/init.d/KnoppMyth-tv, showing surrounding lines:



Many thanks, Cecil and Dale, and dwaine!!

hello cecil... just tried the 2nd part of your request. did this instead:
and it didn't work. took the comments back out of the modprobe lines and everything worked fine on reboot.

hope this helps to diagnose the problem... many, many thanks for your continued, tenacious work on this project!

Thanks for the feedback!

One last thing please, I'd like the output of:
