The problem is almost sure to be the tuner card. Try v4ctl with debug
set to check for errors when tuning. (you will need xawtv installed)

Jamie. we seem to be following each other around the mailing lists. CLUG,
mythtv, now here.
True, and I always appreciate the help you offer :-)
You seem to have all the modules loaded, what is not working?
I cannot tune in to any channels
is there a /dev/video/video0?
Yes:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ ls -lah /dev/video0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jul 19 14:00 /dev/video0 -> v4l/video0
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ ls /dev/v4l/video0 -lah
crw-rw---- 1 root video 81, 0 Jul 19 14:00 /dev/v4l/video0
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $
(the permissions on /dev/v4l/video0 don't look right to me and I do get an
error that /dev/video0 is not accessible when trying to run xawtv as any
user other than root)
does xawtv -c /dev/video/video0 give any output?
I will try this later tonight when I get home.

I've been working on this for several days but do not seem to make any
progress.
I have a Pinnacle PCTV Stereo card which is based on the Philips saa7134
chip. I have recomipled my kernel (2.6.12-gentoo-r6) to include the
saa7134 module and i2c support as a module.
lsmod output :
Module Size Used by
tda9887 13144 0
saa7134 102996 0
tuner 26920 0
video_buf 17924 1 saa7134
v4l2_common 5184 1 saa7134
v4l1_compat 14084 1 saa7134
ir_common 6660 1 saa7134
videodev 7808 1 saa7134
Relevant entries added to my /etc/modules.conf after modules-update is
run:
(I am in New Zealand and know that card number and tuner number are
correct as I have had this card working in Mandrake 10.1 a week or so
ago)
### modules-update: start processing /etc/modules.d/saa7134
options saa7134 card=26 tuner=5 oss=1
### modules-update: end processing /etc/modules.d/saa7134
### modules-update: start processing /etc/modules.d/tda9887
options tda9887 qss=0
### modules-update: end processing /etc/modules.d/tda9887
My Kernel .config file can be found at
http://drgnfire.orcon.net.nz/kernel_config
I'd appreciate any feedback on what I might be doing wrong that is
causing
the TV Card not to work.
Once I have the card working my aim is to build a MythTV box using this
card, so any pointers on this would also be appreciated (especially from
anyone in New Zealand who has experience in this area).
Thanks
Jamie
