KNC One TV-Station DVR

Card features

• PCI interface
• SAA7134 chipset
• RDS-Tuner Chip SAA6588 chipset
• MPEG-Decoder Chip SAA6752HS
• FM, TV, Composite, S-Video and Audio inputs (outside)
• Two conectors (one is Audio out) (inside)

How to make it work

It was detected automatically as card=24.

The sound dosn't work from internal Mixer (in the moment - should work according to Video4Linux Mailing List). At the moment I use the Audio-out conector inside. If you hold the slot cover at the left and the PCI connector at the lower side, the audio out connector is the lower one. The 4 pins from the white MIDI-connector are from left to right: left-channel / ground / right-channel / ground. This one I connect to an audio input (Aux) of my sound card (SoundBlaster Live! 5.1). If I switch the input to this channel, the sound works fine.

The MPEG-Encoder doesn't work (at the moment - should work according to Video4Linux Mailing List).

Kernel

The card runs on kernel 2.6.11.4 (SuSE 9.3).

Not all features supported in the moment. Work in progress...
