Re: TV Cards....
they work..but ive read many reports of people having problems on those drivers..if your not having problems go ahead an use em :) i tend to prefer using the latest driver(that is considered 'stable') it also depends on the card your using, and the vga card your using..one of my co workers has a s3 savage 4 with winTV as well and his machine crashes hard whenever a tv app uses bttv, be it kernel drivers or the ones on the bttv page.(but it works in win98 ..) nate On Wed, 2 Feb 2000, Hans wrote: hansfo >At 07:33 AM 2/2/00 -0800, aphro wrote: hansfo >>i use a hauppauge wintv/pci hansfo >> hansfo >>and it works great, just make sure to avoid the video4linux drivers in the hansfo >>kernel if possible they are outdated, go to the bttv homepage if your hansfo >>using a bttv-compadible card.(i dont have the link, go to hansfo >>yahoo.aphroland.org and search for bttv) hansfo >> hansfo >>i use kwintv to...used to use xawtv, till i got kwintv to work hansfo > hansfo >I don't understand that remark.

I use a Pinnacle/Miro PCTV Pro, a Slink system and the 2.2.13 kernel. The build in BTTV driver works fine, gives me stereo sound and a clear picture. As if drivers in the kernel are old, obsolete and non-functioning. I don't agree, especially since my SB64AWE also uses the driver build in the kernel (OSS version) with great success. If it works a 100% what is the point of using the latest and greatest? Things to watch: 1) build everything as module, 2) once running don't switch from X to console mode while watching a TV picture as this will lock the system (for me at least). Same remark for xawtv. I tried the newer 3.x version and couldn't get it running at all. Switched to a 2.x version (2.48 if I recall correctly) and had it running within 15 minutes. Other things to watch: - radio on the Pinnacle/Miro PCTV Pro is not supported yet from what I can tell, - neither is ir, but this means some extra exercise for us computer crazy hackers. Last thing: when credits are flying over the screen it appears as a smear. I suspect the video card can't keep up with the inlay mode.

Re: TV Cards....
i use a hauppauge wintv/pci and it works great, just make sure to avoid the video4linux drivers in the kernel if possible they are outdated, go to the bttv homepage if your using a bttv-compadible card.(i dont have the link, go to yahoo.aphroland.org and search for bttv) i use kwintv to...used to use xawtv, till i got kwintv to work nate On Wed, 2 Feb 2000, Robert V.

Re: TV Cards....
I'm using an AverTV-Phone by Avermedia (www.avermedia.com) with kernel 2.2.13, the bttv driver, and xawtv. It works very well. I, too, have not yet used the IR remote under linux, but I think I've seen somewhere that it is supported or will be shortly. It's also a pretty good video capture card. This card is also a stereo tuner, but I haven't tried yet to use that under linux. I bought this a long time ago, and then it cost around $75. The newer version is called TV98 and runs for about $65 (maybe less if you do some leg-work). I'm pretty sure it is also supported by the bttv module. Your system specs are certainly enough to run one of these cards. Brian J.

Re: TV Cards....
Hi Robert, I have a Patrol TVRadio98 and it works great under Debian. However, the brand of the card is not as important as what chip it uses. The bttv drivers support the Bt848 family of video decoder chips. These are the Bt848, Bt848A, Bt849, Bt878 and Bt879 chipsets. I use kwintv to watch television, IMHO the interface is a lot cleaner than xawtv - but they are basically doing the same job. Your system is more than powerful enough to use a tv card - a good thing about the above mentioned chipsets is that they use very little cpu power. The only problems I have had so far is that the radio on the card and the I/R remote are not supported but apart from that it's working great. Hope this helps Cyrus PS I'm in Oz so quoting prices probably wouldn't help ;-) Robert V.

Re: TV Cards....
A friend of mine and I have ATI All-In-Wonder-128 cards. I haven't tried yet, but he's using XF-86 and "gatos" with this card and says it's working great. Robert Thus spake Robert V.

Ringkjøbing Amt - e-post I have checked this site. It contains a RPM-spec file and the source. I am not familiar with compiling sourcecode - what to do now? Has anybody drivers and tv-applications for debian use?

There is also some software called ( I believe ) videotext which will drive the teletext decoder although I found this to be a bit unstable. This is with Redhat 5.1 patched to 2.0.36, althought I also ran the card with Redhat 5.0 and 2.0.32(?). The url for xawtv is http://www.cs.tu-berlin.de/~kraxel/linux/#xawtv Hope this is of some help.
