Last year, I sent in a patch for the saa7134 linux kernel module (part of video4linux) to add support for the Sabrent SBT-TVFM tv tuner card. Unfortunately, I didn’t get the chance to test it beyond the TV and radio, but a couple people were kind enough to e-mail and point out that the audio settings for composite and s-video were wrong. The first person e-mailed something like nine months ago, but then I forgot about it until someone e-mailed today, at which point I got off my lazy ass and sent in the dinky little patch that I should have made last year. Here’s the diff against the latest CVS snapshot (2005/08/10) for anyone interested:

I haven’t tested it myself, but I’ve received more than one report about it. Hopefully I’ll do some more work on this in the coming weeks, specifically adding support for the remote at last, because I’m going to be using the card to set up a media center for my family.

I want to know how to configure the remote control for this card, although I have a bt878a card (card=142), also the fm tuner that no respond.
Thanks

Efraim,
I don’t know anything about the bt878a version of this card, so I’m afraid I can’t help you there. Regarding the remote, if it is the same as the saa7134 version, I have tried several times, with the assistance of some of the v4l developers and IRC lurkers to get this working, all without success. In short, the remote seems to send a key down IR code, but never a key up code to say that the button has been released, resulting in the appearance (to the module) that the same button is being held down until the next is pressed, and so forth. It’s unfortunate, but as far as I know no progress has been made on this and I haven’t had the time to look into it since my last try a year ago.
