<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Well I am new to this list and have been playing with MythTV and my system since Fedora core 1. My first hurdle was the driver for my Asus TV FM Card. My son purchased it and has decided he didn't want it so I inherited it. This card has the Phillips 7133 chip. I have a P4P800S MOBO with a 2.8GHz P4 and 512MB memory.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">My experience have ranged from having a system that would not install do the MOBO issue with Fedora. To fighting with the saa7134 driver. But I finally have something running.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Recently I compiled a CVS version of MythTV (this solved my sound problem as I saw a posting about ALSA and having to configure that in and compile). So I totally recommend building it from scratch.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The saa7134 driver does not recognize my card correctly. The driver ID the card as tuner type 39 and the card is actually type 43. I used an option line in /etc/modprobe.conf to set the tuner "option saa7134 tuner=43". This has allowed me to see all the channels.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I have several issues I don't know how to work arround.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">1) the sound does not come up properly att the time. I set record on of all things "CD" in alsamixer and mute and the sound work. After booting the record may be off. This may have to do with the family running the dual boot of Winders XP.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">2) The number keys no longer work to change channels, if I type a number I get the last digit as the channel (i.e., I get 2 thru 9). In fact, a lot of the keys and functions don't work the same as the built version I downloaded. (but I have sound now).</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Any help would be appreciated!</FONT>
