Description Sander Pientka 2009-04-30 15:42:04 UTC
The Zolid Hybrid TV Card I bought at the local supermarket doesn't seem to be recognized by Linux.

This TV card has support for both analog and digital television (DVB-T). The included software is, of course, Windows-only. The video processing chipset is the SAA7131/SAA7133/SAA7135 Video Broadcast Decoder, according to lshw. The Linux kernel loads the saa* drivers for this card.

However, it's not working. Scanning the frequencies doesn't result anything. dmesg | grep saa results this:

As you can see, the driver can't recognize the board, so it uses the default settings. I'm sure you can fix it by adding a certain ID or board map. Please fix this, so I can watch TV again :) Thanks in advance.
