Hercules Smart TV 3

== Hercules Smart TV 3 - Linux 2.6 ==

---

Firstly, if you haven't already, get Tvtime or any other tv software for Linux and try one or the other:
modprobe saa7134 card=10 tuner=24
modprobe tuner
or
modprobe saa7134 card=10 tuner=38
modprobe t..

Now you can either add this command:
card= tuner= to /etc/modprobe.d/modulename in this case saa7134, then and add saa7134 to /etc/modules

Or on a Debian Based System:
echo "options saa7134 card=10 tuner=38" > /etc/modprobe.d/saa7134
modprobe saa7134

On Gentoo, it should be:
echo "options saa7134 card=10 tuner=38" > /etc/modules.d/saa7134
modules-update
modprobe saa7134

Audio:
If you use ALSA:
modprobe saa7134_alsa or echo "saa7134_alsa" >> /etc/modules

If you use OSS:
modprobe saa7134 oss=1
echo "saa7134 oss=1" >> /etc/modules
Or alternatively just add the oss=1 option: echo "options saa7134 card=10 tuner=38 oss=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/saa7134

You can either add saa7134 to /etc/modules or to auto-load
echo "saa7134" >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6

The tuner module seems to be a must on this card so you'll need to add that.

Note: Remember to adjust your alsamixer settings.
