Starting again on this problem.
The 1st tv card I got proved to have a faulty chip in it. The current 1
works fine in windows98.
tvtime from mandrake 10 appears to be faulty. I downloaded tvtime0.99
from mandriva and installed it + the lib it required.
It loads and starts but displays the msg 'no signal'. All the menu
options appear to be working as checked by viewing alterations in
~/.tvtime/stationlist.xml & tvtime.xml.
The module is saa7134. As I have not set it up yet to load correctly at
boot time I execute as root
rmmod -v saa7134
followed by
modprobe -v saa7134 card=3 tuner=6 video_debug=1
before running tvtime -v. This generates a screed of msgs to screen,
all of which look ok .
Next exit tvtime and run dmesg. This produces 1.5 screens of new msgs
relating to
the running of tvtime . the one of immediate interest is
saa7133[0]/video: DCSDT: no signal
Google brings up a number of sites for this problem. I have yet to find
an answer

Running ls -l /dev/v4l produces
crw------- 1 root video 81, 64 Jan 1 1970 radio0
crw------- 1 barry video 81, 224 Jan 1 1970 vbi0
crw------- 1 barry video 81, 0 Jan 1 1970 video0
Are the major/minor numbers correct/acceptable?
According to the Wairarapa LUG site the card works with Mandrake 10/tvtime
The card is in the 2nd pci slot, a winmodem is in the 1st. Could there
be a compatibilithy problem.?
As well as tvtime I have tried xawtv & zapping. Both the last 2 scramble
the screen and lock up the kbd requiring a reboot
Any ideas would be appreciated
