## Setting up Winfast 2000XP Tvcard

Tvcards are all very similar to setup. This document shows you how to setup a "Winfast 2000XP Tvcard". Other cards should be similar, and should follow the same basic premise.

Edit the /etc/modules.conf file Add in:

    #
    # /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf (for v2.6 kernels)
    # card ...... that setting is "34"
    # tuner ..... that setting is "43"

    alias char-major-81     bttv
    options bttv card=34
    options bttv tuner=43

Reboot and it should now work with kdetv or tvtime.

## TLG2300

The TLG2300 is a device that supports analog and digital TV, also includes and FM receiver. It's identified with the following device id:

    $ lsusb
    Bus 001 Device 007: ID 1b24:4001

The TLG2300 driver is called poseidon. It should be automatically loaded, but you need to get the firmware first and put it under /lib/firmware. The file is called tlg2300_firmware.bin and can be obtained from the Windows drivers.

    user@machine:~$ stat /lib/firmware/tlg2300_firmware.bin
      File: `/lib/firmware/tlg2300_firmware.bin'
      Size: 52748     	Blocks: 112        IO Block: 4096   regular file
    Device: 801h/2049d	Inode: 12820901    Links: 1
    Access: (0600/-rw-------)  Uid: (    0/    root)   Gid: (    0/    root)

To test the analog TV with VLC, /dev/video1 is the v4l video device in my case, hw:1,0 is the audio output, NTSC standard, and the frequencies are obtained from mplayer/stream/frequency.c file.

    vlc v4l2:///dev/video1  :input-slave=alsa://hw:1,0 :v4l2-standard=3 :v4l2-tuner-frequency=513250

If you put this on your .asoundrc:

    pcm.telegent {
    	type hw
    	card 1
    }

You will be able to use

    vlc v4l2:///dev/video1  :input-slave=alsa://telegent :v4l2-standard=3 :v4l2-tuner-frequency=513250

To add several channels you can create a play list with all the frequencies, and use Next and Previous to change through them.
