[mythtv-users] Re: modules.conf for ivtv + bttv

[Bill Powers]

Thanks, Gary

I have worked with your modules.conf, but no luck so far.  The difference,
apparently, is that you are fortunate enough to have two type 2, Philips
compatible tuners.  The tuner on my ivtv card is a type 2 tuner, but the
bttv card has an early Temetic type 6 tuner.  Selecting either tuner type
will allow one of the two cards to work, but all attempts to specify
multiple tuner types (eg., options tuner type=2,6) result in an error (tuner
type already set).  Attempting to manually load the tuner module with insmod
tuner type=2,6 results in "too many values for type (max 1)".

Does anyone have a suggestion for getting two dissimilar tuner types
working?

Here it is

Hi.

The magic in using a live and btaudio is probing your mixer first so as
to let it grab dev/dsp0 first. I'm using alsa and rh9 - pvr 250 and a
tvwonder. Nforce 2 mb. Using the live for the digital out so as to go
upstairs to the entertainment system with the picture and remote.

Here is mine (messy but hey - need to wash my car too.)

[root at linuxbox root]# cat /etc/modules.conf

alias char-major-188 off

pre-install btaudio modprobe snd-pcm-oss

alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c

Hope this helps. Forget where I got this from but it made all the
difference. Also change your setting in mythtvsetup ( to /dev/dsp1) for
your tuner.
