Linux Tv Tuner card

Just note
nak ono sing tekak tekok kari ngelink mrene


TV tuner info
niyala ~ # lspci -v
01:08.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7130 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev 01)
Subsystem: Animation Technologies Inc. LifeView FlyVIDEO2000
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 20
Memory at e3001000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1K]
Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 1

make sure, line out from tv tuner plugged into soundcard line input
make sure, you have compiled the driver modules
make sure, you know your card and tuner options

i'am a gentoo user, i use udev to manage the hardware
udev also support for coldplugging ( hardware detection at boot )
from this i have a problem,
because i don't know how to insert module option to load tv tuner module into the kernel
finally i use blacklist from udev,
first do not load automatically ( using udev coldplug ) by blacklisting the module
and then use modules autoload to load the modules
niyala ~ # echo "blacklist saa7134" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
niyala ~ # echo "options saa7134 card=3 tuner=25" > /etc/modules.d/saa7134
niyala ~ # echo "saa7134" > /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
niyala ~ # echo "tuner" > /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
when your computer reboot, the driver module ready to go ...

i use xawtv for tv viewer and qqradio for radio tuner
