Hi folks, I just bought a new Pinnacle PCTV (not the RAVE, not the PRO, not the Studio, just plain "Pinnacle PCTV") video capture card and got it all set up. It looks like this one, however, has a different tuner chip than the ones currently supported. It comes up and plays video fine with the bttv driver, but can't change channels under linux (I can change them if I boot into windows and use the included software, of course). The bttv driver auto-detects card 39 (which seems right), but it also auto-detects the "Temic PAL_DK (4016 FY5)" tuner (which is totally wrong). Looking at the card, the tuner is actually a TDA9885TS chip. I don't see reference to this chip anywhere in the kernel source, and after a couple hours of searching the web and list archives, I'm not seeing any reference to it in this context. Is anyone working on getting this tuner to work under linux? If not, is anyone willing to work with me to get it working? =) The datasheet for this chip can be found at: http://www.semiconductors.philips.com/acrobat/datasheets/TDA9885_TDA9886_1.pdf Some functionality for this chip aparently is implemented in the ati driver at: http://custom.lab.unb.br/pub/os/linux/ati/ati.2/ Below is some info that might help -- if there is any other info I can give that would be helpful, let me know. =) ----- From the syslog ------ Sep 2 21:55:55 saidin kernel: Linux video capture interface: v1.00 Sep 2 21:55:55 saidin kernel: bttv: driver version 0.7.96 loaded Sep 2 21:55:55 saidin kernel: bttv: using 4 buffers with 2080k (8320k total) for cap ture Sep 2 21:55:55 saidin kernel: bttv: Host bridge is VIA Technologies, Inc.
