I have setup this card with gentoo 2008. In some others distributions like Ubuntu or Fedora, I’m sure it should be easier. The card that I’m writing about is:
|
1 2 |
04:09.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture (rev 11) 04:09.1 Multimedia controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Audio Capture (rev 11) |
It works with module bt878
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
Device Drivers ---] [M] Video For Linux [*] Enable Video For Linux API 1 compatible Layer [*] Video capture adapters ---] [M] BT848 Video For Linux [*] DVB/ATSC Support for bt878 based TV cards |
make && make modules_install after that we edit /etc/modprobe.conf or /etc/modprobe.d/bttv and we add the following lines:
|
1 2 3 4 |
alias char-major-81 videodev alias char-major-81-0 bttv options bttv pll=1 card=120 radio=1 tuner=38 remote=1 bttv_verbose=1 gbuffers=4 options ir_common debug=1 |
Now we can try the card with:
|
1 2 |
modprobe bttv modprobe tuner |
We can check if they loaded successfully:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 |

emerge tvtime |
You should set it to the norm of you country, I set it to PAL-Nc:
|
1 2 |
$ tvtime-configure -n PAL-Nc $ tvtime-scanner |
And if everything[…]
