my card number is 183 , but I do not know how to change it

already try to remove and add the module with

rmmod saa7134_alsa saa7134_dvb saa7134
modprobe saa7134 card=183
modprobe saa7134-dvb

/$ ls dev/d* result

dev/dm-0 dev/dm-1

dev/disk:
by-id by-uuid

obviously tvheadend does not show adapters

I hope you have explained me well, tanks

See modprobe saa7134 for module options.

echo "options saa7134 card=183" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/dvb.conf
reboot

However that card isn't a DVB card so won't work with newer tvheadend versions. The last version to support analogue (3.6) is no longer supported.

thanks for answering

See modprobe saa7134 for module options.

echo "options saa7134 card=183" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/dvb.conf
reboot

I reinstall ubuntu and apply what you suggested , do not compile the linuxtv firmware

dmesg|grep dvb has not results

lsmod | grep bttv has not results

it's correct like this?

However that card isn't a DVB card so won't work with newer tvheadend versions. The last version to support analogue (3.6) is no longer supported.

Could my card work with a version 3.6 or earlier?

Do non-analog cards ,dvb-t, work with an RGB cable entry? , that is, I receive analog RGB signal

RE: dvb not found (video mate m1f pci) - Added by saen acro over 6 years ago

There is a nice command lsdvb

Lot of people make mistake to count "silicon" analog tuners as digital one.

RE: dvb not found (video mate m1f pci) - Added by laura ferreri over 6 years ago

I apologize for my ignorance on the subject

if I already understood that my adapter is not dvb

I reiterate the questions

RE: dvb not found (video mate m1f pci) - Added by saen acro over 6 years ago

You mean as capture device
not it cannot do that also directly
if stream from ffmpeg then it can
else use zoneminder

Hi !

I'm still with this issue, try to use Mythtv but I'm not convinced

So, I can compile version 3.4

Output is the following:

[WARNING]:v4l: /dev/video0: Device lacks MPEG encoder, device skipped

I understand that tvheanded needs mpeg to work, according to the manufacturer the card supports mpeg2

but dmesg | grep saa7134 , does not register any adapter as mpeg

it's a problem with the v4l2 driver or my card does not really support mpeg at the hardware level ?
