I have configured successfully AverMedia Aver TV Go 007 tv card in my ubuntu. And now I`m enjoying the Euro2008 football tournament. I want to share with you my experience. Because I have suffered a year from this problem. Ok get ready friend.
Software Informations:
TvTime 1.0.2-0.2ubuntu
For more Information about TvTime: http://tvtime.net
Installation TvTime:
1. Go to terminal window and use this command to login as root:
sudo su
Now enter the root password.
2. Then use this command to install TvTime:
apt-get install tvtime
Well, You can install this from Synaptic Package Manager too.
3. Now you have to install the sox:
apt-get install sox
.
Configuring TvTime:
1. To know your card driver use this command:
dmesg
It will display all of your PC informations. Note the saa71XX driver information. Here XX will be saa7130 or saa7134, that means 30 or 34. Please also note the “tuner 0-00XX: type set to Y” line. This will inform you that what is your tv tuner number. It’s very important. My tuner number is 5. That means “tuner 0-00XX: type set to 5″. Also note this “saa3130[0]: subsystem xxxx:xxxx board: Empire PCI TV-Radio LE [card=XX,insmod option]“ line. Here card=XX will inform you about your card number. My card number is 44, that means card=44.
2. Now use this command to load your driver saa71XX (my driver is saa7134, so I`m using saa7134)
modprobe saa7134
If you use this saa7134 and you have got the FATAl message, Then try with modprobe saa7130 this.
3. Okey Now you have to load the saa713X-alsa driver:
modprobe saa7134-alsa
This is an audio driver. You can use hear audio from TvTime.
4. Now you have to set your card number and tuner nmber. Use this command:
modprobe saa7134 card=44 tuner=5
This 44 and 5 number I have already got from dmesg command. But set your card and tuner number from dmesg command which I have already told above.
5. Now use this command:
tvtime-scanner
This command will scan the channels of your tv line and automatically add channels in channel list. It will scan from 1 MHz to 1000 Mhz frequency. So, wait for 5 or 6 minutes for this.
6. Finally when it completed the channel scan successfully, just use this command to watch tv:
tvtime
Use the terminal window for watching tv with TvTime with above tvtime command. When you exit root login, use the following command for watch tv in normal user mode:
sudo tvtime
Password: <enter your root password>
Enjoy Euro2008 Football tournament with your TvTime…
Easy instructions. When I ran dmseg, I got this:
saa7133[0]: subsystem: 1461:f31f, board: Avermedia AVerTV GO 007 FM [card=57,autodetected]
tuner 0-004b: type set to tda8290+75
Does this mean I should use the following?
sudo modprobe saa7134 card=57 tuner=tda8290+75
yes bro that should be.
use
sudo modprobe saa7134 card=57 tuner=tda8290+75
if you failed to install this successfully then use tuner just 75. that means.
sudo modprobe saa7134 card=57 tuner=75
if you failed to install again. then you need to use another tv viewer software.
if you have any problem again you are most welcome to post here.
good luck.
It works with sudo modprobe saa7134 card=57 tuner=tda8290+75. Thanks for the instructions! I will probably post these instructions on my ULUG (Ubuntu Linux Users Group) group on Google Groups.
you are most welcome mate..
have a good day…
Any idea on how to get this card running in VLC? I can get the audio portion of the card to play in TV Time by installing sox and creating a bash script located at /usr/bin/tvtuner.sh which uses TV Time along with sox. Unfortunately, the audio and video get out of sync. I’d like to do the same with VLC. If this doesn’t work, I may just plop down some money for a WinTV Go. It’s audio is played by connecting a cable to its audio out jack and connecting the other end into the computer’s line-in jack. I’ve heard TV cards which use that setup are less likely to have the audio and video get out of sync. Plus, VLC is supposed to be a pretty good solution for a free PVR.
oh sorry brother, i have now idea about VLC card. you can go to these address
http://www.ubuntuforum.org for more help
I have managed to get my card working with VLC on Xubuntu Hardy. After following your instructions for TV Time, I did the following in VLC:
1. Click on Open Capture Device.
2. Choose Video4Linux.
3. Change video device name to /dev/video0
4. Click on the box beside Norm and select NTSC. (I’m based in the USA.)
5. Click on Advanced Options.
6. Go to the box beside Channel and choose which channel to view/record.
7. Click OK.
8. Click OK to watch channel. (To record, you have to check the box beside “Stream output”. Click on the Settings box to choose your recording format and where to save the video file to.)
Unfortunately, I don’t know how to get the audio working on the tuner card with VLC. I will ask on the Ubuntu Forums and see if sox can be used inside VLC. (I can use sox with TV Time by using a customized bash script.)
thanks for sharing this useful post mate.
