I was wondering if someone could give me some idea as to how stable the
saa7134 driver is? I am thinking about buying a flyvideo 3000, and am
wondering if the thing is going to be reliable or not? I am running
2.4.21 right now.
I've got a Genius Video Wonder Pro III for about a week. Except
ocassional problems with carrier detection during switching between PAL
D/K (east europe terrestric) and PAL B/G (satellite), which require
switching channels back and forth, the driver works reliably. There was
a bug in the detection code fixed recently, but the carrier scan still
fails sometimes, but is isn't critical for me. Radio works too.
I am using tvtime CVS for watching and mplayer/mencoder CVS for video
capture, latest saa7134 driver snapshot (needs 2.4.22 kernel or some
minor modification of the source).
Regards,
I use FlyVideo3000 card. Best result I've got just with 2.6.0-test2-bk8
(stability first of all - 2.4.x series kernels was not enough stable)
kernel + bytesex patches. My card was bought second hand - this way I
use lirc serial sensor instead of original gpio, which I never had (I
had no troubles with driver - IMHO thats the greater problem - lirc
driver - maybe it is just solved, I can't check).
Last versions of mplayer/mencoder supports v4l2 API - thats really good
stuff for capture video.
Audio carrier scanning looks beter with 2.6 too (maybe that's cause all
system processes works easier).
My saa7134 gives better quality on air than aver tvStudio (bt878) on cable!
Until cx driver is still alpha, saa7134 is best choice for linux (IMHO).
Regards
