The Tevion 9717 (that is the md9717 card=6 tuner=5) and the md7134 combo, which includes a onboard modem or isdn device. The last one is usually sold with complete computer systems, but small amounts are on the market and also used ones out of those systems. This card has been delivered with two different tuner types and is also working. So I would like to assume you have bought a md9717, but what I don't like is, that you say Avermedia is printed on it, because that I can not see on mine. You can go to http://home.t-online.de/home/gunther.mayer/bttv/bttv-gallery.html and search in your browser for md9717. With the picture there you can verify, if you have that card. Then you can use the config from Wieslaw and set for X 6 and for Y 5 (twice :) and do a "depmod -a" thereafter. "modprobe saa7134" will load the driver. On newer kernels I have seen it is just enough to do "modprobe saa7134 card=6" ... in that case also make sure not a webcam got the /dev/video0, or you must tell xawtv and tvtime that it is on /dev/video1 or whereever. On RH also control, that /dev/video and /dev/dsp are symbolic links to /dev/video0 and /dev/dsp0. After loading the driver you should do a "dmesg" to see what has happened or not. In case something is going wrong "dmesg > dmesg.txt" gives you a file you can attach to an email ... Good Luck, Hermann
