Hello,

I would like to know if the spider cable (S-video, coaxial video, RCA audio L-R) works with this card, or is possible, because, I can watch DVB-T on the computer, but when I plug this cable from the card to a TV (peritel), I don't get anything on the TV.

My system:
-------------------
intel dual core processor
Intel motherboard (i945 built-in graphic card) Debian unstable 64 bits
kernel 2.6.25-3 (with the original v4l driver of the kernel)

Thanks for help, cheers

if I understand you right, you seem to think that the card has output on this "spider cable", but it are all INPUTS.

You need TV-OUT from your graphics card or something else capable to display on TV.

Cheers,

Hermann thank you for your answer, ok, I see, I should have thought about it before ! so much the worst !

One second question :

Quoted 9 lines

How are configured the 2 main outputs of the card ?

Upside output for DVB-T & radio ?
Downside output for analog TV ?

Is it right ?

Cheers

Yes, this is right.

You can force card=81 if you want to have DVB-T and analog TV on the lower connector and only radio on the upper, but the remote is not enabled on that card then.

Take care, you might get trouble on analog TV SECAM_L NICAM stereo detection from 2.6.25 onwards. Mauro disabled valid PAL and SECAM sub standards, which were introduced to be user selectable for the reason that audio carrier autodetection is not always successfully, especially not for SECAM_L NICAM on the second carrier, but also for others.

Until 2.6.24 one could force "secam=L" by an saa7134 insmod option (try "modinfo saa7134") or select it from the application. On saa7135 and saa7131e also forcing it with "audio_ddep=0x10" for Secam_L/L' was possible. This all looks pretty much broken currently, but I can't test on that known critical stuff and Hartmut, who spent two weekends with a signal generator to come to viable solutions for all after years, might be pleased as well ;)

Cheers,
Hermann
