Easy TV MPEG Card

Helloes to all.

, here's what I have. I have successfully modprobed and activated a
"Easy TV MPEG" tv acquisition card (fairly generic actually). I seem to be
getting correct image feeds from it.

Here's my big question. That card seems to be using the Phillips saa7130HL
chip. Can that chip output sound to a /dev/dsp1 or something? This is the
only thing that blocks me from actually getting it (I'm eval'ing it). Just
to clarify things, it requires to plug a sound wire from it to the sound
card on Windows. That's not good enough for me. I do not want a wire to run
from my TV card to my Sound card. It is unaesthetic. And it isn't as
controllable as a sound-to-mobo tv card.

No, saa7130 unable to transfer DMA sound. Wire to sound card is
required.

Ctacular Any recommendation on a particular model that does the DMA
sound job?

Some bt878-based cards have a working btaudio. This, however, is still
very much work-in-progress as far as v4l is concerned - both in knowing
which cards work, and making it work. Last time Ilooked there was info
on the wiki, and I managed to make it work on a Haupauge WinTV-G, I
dont have the exact model available (notes lost in the Mountains of
Paper on my desk). But I remember I wasnt very satisfied: mono only,
weird set of sampling rates, unsatifactory volume control. A cable to a
sound card remains the best choice for low-cost TV cards.

This one has already been asked directly to Michel, and following his
advice, I'm posting a translation here :)

So, basically, are the "PetitMou" (MicroSoft literaly translated)-certified
Hauppauge WinTV PVR-*50 MCE acquisition cards supported by v4l entirely? And
what about the ATI eHome Wonder? I "desperately" need a tuner card in the
following week and a half, and I want one that doesn't have any extra wires
to plug behind the box.

And, for the record, my price range is at least 100 CAD. (I even found a
WinTV PVR 250 MCE [32552] card somewhere and CHEAP as in below a hundred
canadian bucks.)

the WinTV PVR x50 cards are supported by there own driver project (I remember
that the MCE still had some problems a while back). btw, they output a
compressed MPEG1/2 stream.

If you want a non compressing frame grabber with a tv tuner, I'd go with the
Terratec Cinergy 400 / 600. But you will need a uite fast CPU to record video
without hardware accelerated compression.

Terratec Cinergy 400 / 600.

The P specified a card with TV tuner *and* sound via DMA. Does btaudio
work with the Cinergy?

without hardware accelerated compression.

Anything faster than a P4-2GHz should be K. Not very fast by nowadays
standards (but make sure it has plenty of cache!)

You don't need btaudio with the saa7134 based cards. So actually I shouldn't
recommend the Cinergy in particular, just the chipset

you just made a new question arise.

I am SUPPSEDLY gonna get a Roselyn-type Hauppauge PVR250 MCE tv acq card.
The IVTVTW (IVTV Tiki Wiki), they say that Roselyn PVR250MCE card support
is currently being implemented into the cx88 driver ( more
here<>). If it's
true, then what's the status on this one?

Can you Please tell me that how you installed the Easy TV MPEG card in linux.

Thanks.
