First, I opened up the box and found that I had a "LG INNOTEK TALN-M200T" PAL-chip.
I think I've tried the configuration before, but I guess I had screwed some V4L-stuff up, because when I modprobed the saa7134 with card=7 tuner=37 oss=1 and fired up mplayer, I could watch telly.
Actually, since some recent kernel, there's the card=80 option, which is "ASUS Digimatrix TV". So card=80 tuner=37 (which is autodetected if the digimatrix patch supplied with geexbox is applied), it seems as the perfect fit.
This is what I've realized from the forums:
| Chip | Norm | modprobe opts | Others that might work |
|---|---|---|---|
| LG INNOTEK, TALN-200T | PAL | card=7 tuner=37 | card=2, tuner=15 |
To get the a/v-sync good, there are three things one should check:
- Don't use VESA FB. If FB - use SIS FB
- Don't use the Mp3-audio for Live-TV
- Set MythTV to sync on Video
It was the third point that solved my problem. Notes:
- alsamixer -V capture: set "capture" on "Capture", lower audiolevel to 0 to reduse noise
