Hi there people:

I have an ATI TV Wonder 550 PCI card and I can't make linux recognize it properly. I've been googling a lot with no result. Here I let you my lscpi results:

01:0b.0 Multimedia controller [0480]: ATI Technologies Inc Theater 550 PRO PCI [ATI TV Wonder 550] [1002:4d52] Subsystem: ATI Technologies Inc Unknown device [1002:a346] Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 5 Memory at bff00000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1M] Memory at de000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=32M] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2

I read that I have to load the right modules for it and this is what I've done 'till now

Quoted 8 lines

$ sudo modprobe bttv card=63 tuner=44 radio=1

and with no parameters also. Bttv loads properly but still won't recognize the cards. Am I doing anything wrong or it's just my card. I must say I can watch TV on Windows with this very same card

Thanks in advance Harol

Got to ask, if you are in the state, why are you fooling w/an NTSC tuner (unless you are connected to a subscription service - then pardon my dribble!).

Any ways - I just installed some ATI tuners as well - but, I checked (lspci) and they are not the same type. You will find that ATI / AMD named almost all their tuners "ATI Wonder" making it very difficult to distinguish which is which (let alone which are well, partially and not supported here in linux land).

That said, have you googled to find like minded people w/the same problem? So far, what I have found leads me to think you are at a dead end w/this particular ATI:

Further evidence that your card might not work can be found here (search for "ATI "):

http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-3.html

I say "might not work" as, again, ATI / AMD's crappy naming is confusing. I think you have an "ATI Wonder" card and I have an "ATI All-in-Wonder" card. But from our lspci's I can not be sure. I'm basing the true name of your card from the ATI / AMD's web site:

http://ati.amd.com/products/tvwonder550/index.html

Ah, here's the coffin nail (search for your 550 card):

http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/ATI/AMD#ATI_Graphic_cards_with_TV_Tuners_and.2For_Capture_facilities

Regardless, if you are serious about using a tuner in linux (i.e. going to build a mythtv box) I would approach the problem the other way around. First check for support then go out and buy a tuner.

In case you want to get what I have, this is one of the results from my lspci (I think I get 3 per ATI card). I'm still putting together this mythtv box. But the ATSC feature of this card appears to be working (in a Debian system):

01:06.0 Multimedia video controller: Conexant Systems, Inc. CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Vi deo and Audio Decoder (rev 05) Subsystem: ATI Technologies Inc HDTV Wonder Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 17 Memory at fa000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M] Capabilities: <access denied> Kernel driver in use: cx8800
Kernel modules: cx8800

Let's begging by saying that I live in Cuba, so Digital TV is quite far, about my card as I say it's an ATI TV Wonder 550 PCI, reading CARDLIST.bttv in kernel Doc I found out it's supported by bttv driver so I thought it might be easy to configure, but the real problem is that even when then kernel sees the card it wont recognize it, anyone who has had this problem?
