Hello,
Again, a little more info. I have tested the card on a Win2k machine,
and it works perfectly. On this (Debian testing) box, the card is not
sharing an IRQ with anything. I have tried various options
(grabdisplay, -noxv etc etc) and none appear to change the behaviour.
If anyone has any thoughts on things to try, I'd be grateful,
Thanks all,
Philip.

As a follow-up, S-video with a signal taken from the SCART on my telly
works fine. The colours aren't great but I'm guessing that's cos I
didn't take the time fiddling around to make them better :-).
Again, any help would be appreciated, I am losing faith in what was once
a Great Idea of Mine (TM) - telly on the computer :)
It's me again - this time with a pinnacle pctv pro card. I have tried
a number of things to get this working. Firstly, with a 2.4.20-rc1
the card is not automatically detected - the card is picked up as a
type 39 (PCTV Rave IIRC) whereas it probably ought to be a type 52, if
I understand correctly. Secondly tuner type is 4 (no tuner).
Manually setting the tuner type (bttv.tuner=33) gives no satisfaction.
With a patch I found
(http://giga.cps.unizar.es/~magallon/linux/kernel/2.4.20-rc1-jam1/75-bttv-0.7.100.bz2)
the card is still picked up as a 39 but the tuner is correctly
detected. Using xawtv, however, never allows me to watch TV.
Basically while the card is not tuned in the "snow" is correctly
displayed, but when tuned in i get sound ok but simply get a solid
blue picture. Fine tuning alters nothing until progressively the card
is tuned out from the station at which point the "snow" returns...
Manually selecting bttv.card=52 doesn't appear to have any affect, it
behaves the same as with its auto-probed type=39. Is this normal?
