[ubuntu-za] Video Broadcast Controller

[Robert Holm]

Hi All

For some time now I have been battling to get either tvtime or me-tv
operating but so far without success. If I understand the output of
lspci and dmesg correctly it appears that the card is correctly
identified and the driver loaded, but I would appreciate it if someone
could confirm this assumption for me.

I believe that the saa7134 driver is the correct one for the SAA713x
chipset. (I am running Jaunty but I had the same problem on Hardy and
Intrepid)

lspci gives me:

00:0a.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors

and dmesg shows:

When I load me-tv I get the error message; "There are no available DVB
tuner devices."

tvtime gives the error message: "No signal"

For what it's worth the card works under Windoze.

Thanks
