This is by no means a complete guide, and applies to a card bought locally in Argentina, so different ones might have different tuners. My card is equipped with LG TACP tuner (NTSC plus PAL-N and PAL-M).

Modify /etc/modprobe.conf, and add this line

options saa7134 card=2 tuner=39

Then, after restarting the driver (you can do that by rebooting -Windows style!- or by restarting it manually, with "rmmod saa7134" and then "modprobe saa7134 card=2 tuner=39"), execute tvtime with the following command:

tvtime -n PAL-N -f us-cable

This will set the program to accept the strange scheme used by PAL-N (that is, PAL color schemes with NTSC tuning frequencies). You will then be able to autoset the channels and your personal preferences.

This is just a basic setup so you can watch TV. Investigate further to take advantage of FM radio, and the rest (although everything should work fine).

Hope this helps, but if I can help you with something else, just drop me a line at mlreta@datafull.com

Good luck, and enjoy tv watching!
