 +====== saa7134 ======
 +
 +A driver for an old PCI TV card.
 +
 +=== archives: saa7134 notes ===
 +
 +# mencoder + tv
 +
 +# saa7134
 +to load module, have this in /etc/modules.conf
 +<code>
 +options saa7134 card=2 tuner=2 oss=1
 +</code>
 +
 +# sound setup
 +I cannot stress how long it took me to finally get this, and I'm glad it does.
 +
 +Here's my setup:
 +1) audio cable from tv card out to line in on soundcard
 +2) open kmix and
 + a) set Master to 100
 + b) set Line to capture (red) and muted (green off)
 + c) set Capture to on (red and green)
 +3) run this command:
 +<code>
 +mencoder -tv driver=v4l2:norm=NTSC:audiorate=32000:forceaudio:forcechan=1:width=320:height=240:adevice=/dev/dsp -ovc lavc -oac lavc -endpos 5 tv://</code>
 +
 +Make sure NOT to use dsp1.  I still haven't found where that comes into play.
 +
 +Alas, no workie with MythTV.  If youre reading this months later -- the only option is to get a real tv card.  Do it.
 +
 +# loading the modules
 +CARD type and TUNER type both seem to be #2
 +<code>
 +modprobe saa7134 card=2 tuner=2
 +</code>
 +To do it automatically:
 +
 +vim /etc/modules.d/saa7134
 +<code>
 +options card=2 tuner=2
 +modules-update
 +modprobe saa7134</code>
 +
 +The video (right now) is blurry, but I think its my cable.  The sound is 
 +great.
 +
 +Ok, in tvtime, I went to Setup: Input configuration: Horizontal 
 +resolution and set it to Moderate and it fixed a lot of the fuzzy lines.
 +
 +# tvtime program installs:
 +tvtime
 +tvtime-configure
 +tvtime-command
 +tvtime-scanner
 +
 +# xawtv program:
 +pia fbtv showriff radio rootv xawtv v4l-conf v4l-info alevtd subtitles 
 +xawtv-remote v4lctl record scantv showqt webcam ntsc-cc dump-mixers 
 +propwatch streamer
 +
 +# xawdecode program:
 +
 +
 +# sound
 +Can't get sound working for some reason, from TV card to sound card 
 +input.
 +Turn IGAIN off.  It causes horrible feedback.
 +
 +This is the weirdest thing ever -- mute "Line In" in alsamixer and the 
 +throughput from flyvideo audio out to sound card line in will work.  I 
 +can watch tvtime with sound now, but no luck with mythtv.
 +
 +Add oss=1 to modprobe saa7134 options to have it use /dev/dsp1, an OSS 
 +sound output
 +
 +# change channels
 +<code>
 +use v4lctl: v4lctl setchannel <number>
 +</code>
 +
 +Can't seem to do it with mplayer. :(
