My tuner is not recognized by tvheadend (Debian)

Added by John Lazos over 2 years ago

Good friends, I have an Avermedia tuner pci card and I would like to use it in Linux (Debian) but it seems that it needs drivers and I can't find a way to make it work.

The tuner could be from the year 2008. I have installed in Debian tvheadend but it does not recognize the device:

The output of the lspci -knn command shows me this:

Subsystem: ASRock Incorporation Celeron/Pentium Silver Processor Gaussian Mixture Model [1849:31d4]
Kernel driver in use: i801_smbus
Kernel modules: i2c_i801
01:00.0 Multimedia controller [0480]: Philips Semiconductors SAA7162 [1131:7162] (rev 01)
Subsystem: Avermedia Technologies Inc SAA7162 [1461:011c]
03:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller [10ec:8168] (rev 15)
Subsystem: ASRock Incorporation Motherboard (one of many) [1849:8168]
Kernel driver in use: r8169
Kernel modules: r8169
04:00.0 SATA controller [0106]: ASMedia Technology Inc. ASM1062 Serial ATA Controller [1b21:0612] (rev 02)

The system recognizes the pci card but for tvheadend it is as if it did not exist. What I would not know is how to install appropriate drivers or find them for this model of card. Can you help me?

Your device does not appear in this list:
https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/AVerMedia
or this one:
https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Saa7162_devices
so I doubt that it will be supported under Linux.

AVerMedia have worst Linux support.
Even someone remove their devices support after kernel 2.6.x

Wow, what bad luck. The fact is that in Windows the card works perfectly, it is a pity that there is no support for Linux.

This has happened to me in another forum, but I don't know how it could be installed on Linux:

Do you think it will work?

SAA7162 is just a bridge, more important is are modulator and tuners have support.
