Ok, so you'll never believe how much I don't know about this.
but anyway I got it to go at last
(why can't I cut and paste into mozilla mail?)
here is the contents of my eeprom.

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.

Send the output of
"bttv-0.7.100/tools/eeprom" (this is a command which dumps the eeprom contents)
so this problem can be diagnosed better.
The eeprom can show bad data for a variety of reasons:
- plain broken
- re-programmed (e.g. using the i2c-interface in linux, e.g. playing with lm-sensors or similar)
The singedness has nothing to do with your problem.
The card works fine with Linux, as soon as your eeprom shows correct data
(your card and all parameters settings will be autodetected).
