How to get KWorld TV Tuner working under Linux

I had the same problem with that card. This is how I fixed it.

Remeber, if you live inside the USA, you have NTSC (for my card it was
tuner 2). In the above links, there are links to card and tuner lists.
find the right tuner/card combination and put it in the bttv file as
described. One of the articles says no restart is need ("sudo modprobe
-r bttv to unload sudo modprobe bttv to load"). This did NOT work for
me. I had to do a restart.



Upon restarting, run tvtime-scanner. It takes a while, but if you have
the right options in your bttv file, you should have color and correct
channels. I hope this works for you. It took me a while, but i finally
got it working for me.



Happy watching.
