Yes it does work in windows, I wouldn't say perfectly but pretty well.
When starting outlook express, (which I don't coz I use mozilla mail),
or ejecting a CD the tuner goes wrong and I get static. At other times,
sometimes the sound cuts out and I have to change channel to get it
back. I don't have too much of a problem, I can easily avoid the actions
that I know will make it fail.
I had assumed that these problems were to do with IRQ conflicts or
something, I do have quite a lot of cards. I don't really understand why
outlook express, or ejecting a cd could cause these problems, but I had
enough of a struggle getting it to work to begin with., so I don't
really want to go swapping cards, or disabling acpi etc. At long last I
have S3 suspend-to-ram working in Windows XP, and I'd like to keep it
like that.
I have a SBLive, Netgear FA311 NIC, Belkin 5port USB2 card, and the TV
card. Graphics card is a Geforce 4 MX 440. I gave up trying to get my
internal modem to work at the same time, it would not even boot, but it
is pretty stable at the moment, in windows anyway. I use the network
card with an isdn router now anyway so the modem is not required.
Do you think the eeprom on the card is wrong? I don't understand how
that could happen.
Gerd, if you do not want to change cardid signedness in >bttv_get_cardinfo() API,
just change only cardid definition in bttvp.h.
Or does the driver need to be recompiled? I know that sort of thing is
well beyond me.
I didn't realise it would be this difficult to get it to work. Till it
does, I will go on using windows.

This subsystem ID indicates faulty hardware
(should be 11bd:0012 os similar).
Does it work in Windows?
Try "bttv-0.7.100/tools/eeprom" to see if your eeprom is broken
of falsely programmed.
