My old saa7134 tv card died so I bought a PVR-350 for my freevo box. It runs Debian 2.6.15-22-386 so I installed ivtv 0.4.9 I have dreadful video and no audio, on the basic cat /dev/video0 > /my.mpg Critically in dmesg I have Jan 26 12:53:24 localhost kernel: [ 1191.586394] tuner: type set to 1 (Philips PAL_I (FI1246 and compatibles)) by insmod option Jan 26 12:53:24 localhost kernel: [ 1191.586550] tuner: The type=<n> insmod option will go away soon. Jan 26 12:53:24 localhost kernel: [ 1191.586654] tuner: Please use the tuner=<n> option provided by Jan 26 12:53:24 localhost kernel: [ 1191.586782] tuner: tv aard core driver (bttv, saa7134, ...) instead.
from the wiki http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Troubleshooting#PVR-350_with_Philips_FM1216ME_MK5_tuner PVR-350 with Philips FM1216ME MK5 tuner When you have a PVR-350 with this tuner add the below to /etc/modprobe.conf option ivtv tuner=38 but when I tried to force option ivtv tuner=38 through /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf or making a file /etc/modprobe.d/ivtv I get "ignoring bad line" and dmesg shows Jan 26 12:53:25 localhost kernel: [ 1193.381277] tuner: type already set to 1, ignoring request for 38 does any Debian user know how to make this use tuner=38?
