Hi everybody!

 

I'm new to the forum and quiet new to Linux in general.

 

I have Mandrake 10.0 installed and a tv tuner PCI card Hauppauge Win-TV GO.

 

The OS recognises my card and it works perfectley in tvtime and in xawtv but on a condition: every time I start the pc and i want to watch tv i have to search for channels in Configure my computer - hardware- tv tuner.

 

It means that every time i shut down or reboot, it looses all the channel configuration and i have to make the "Configure my co..." process if i want to watch tv.

 

I'd really appreciate your help if someone could give a hand... thanks! ;) :help:

It's me! I solved the problem by adding:

- the string: "modprobe bttv" in the config file /etc/rc.d/rc.config,

so as the bttv module starts from the beggining..

- by changing the file /home/(username)/.tvtime/stationlist.xml in this way: the default was NTSC and i set it to PAL and the same with US Cable set to EU cable.

 

Now everything works fine and the cannels aren't lost when rebooting anymore! :thumbs:

 

see ya!
