Sorry for multi-copies - i have just signed up! xawtv 3.74-4 RedHat 8.0 kernel 2.4.18-14 Nvidia GeForce2 MX PCI 32MB graphics card. I've had xawtv working on my box, perfectly, until recently. One day i turned it on modprobed bttv and started xawtv, the reception was very bad, i put it down to the weather. I had it working perfectly in the past. I receive TV from an analogue aerial on the roof of the house, my neighbours asure me this is ok. When it worked i was using a Hauppauge WinTV/GO card. After some checks i assumed that the card had gone, i went and bought another card a Hauppauge WinTV PrimaFM model 693 Now I have a Hauppauge WinTV PrimaFM model 693, PCI card. This is the newer card with FM radio, videoconferencing/webcam capability. Anyway, now i have changed the card, the cables, changed PCI bays, checked connections, established that there is still a signal (via a tv), tried new cables, tried different co-axial inputs (different locations in my house). I just can't get it to work - I am unsure of the correct card and tuner entries for this card. Here are some files from my RedHat box kernel 2.4.18-14. I have tried the card in different PCI bays - all the obvious things. scantv see's no chanells, although sometimes it will find an "unknown channel" which is one it should find no problem - it's like the signal is gone. If i get a picture on the TV should i get at least the same on my card? The picture on the TV is pretty good. Is there a quick way to try many tuners to see which one is the right one? I think mine is a Phillips PAL_I As i say, i have had this working, it's doing my head in! Hopefully someone can see what the problem is. More info available if needed. Nvidia drivers 3123 built kernel from src rpm and normal GLX rpm. What i see on the screen is TV but very noisy, it seems to brighten and then darkern quickly when i tune into a channel, there are vertical bars of noise running up and down the picture, sometimes the sound cuts out. It sometimes looks distorted (skewed) at the top of the screen. lsmod (after modprobing bttv) Module Size Used by Tainted: P tuner 11456 1 (autoclean) tvaudio 14940 0 (autoclean) (unused) bttv 71424 0 videodev 8288 3 [bttv] i2c-algo-bit 8840 1 [bttv] i2c-core 19236 0 [tuner tvaudio bttv i2c-algo-bit] via82cxxx_audio 23480 1 uart401 8420 0 [via82cxxx_audio] ac97_codec 13384 0 [via82cxxx_audio] sound 74388 0 [via82cxxx_audio uart401] soundcore 6532 4 [via82cxxx_audio sound] sr_mod 18136 0 (autoclean) NVdriver 1149216 8 binfmt_misc 7524 1 parport_pc 19108 1 (autoclean) lp 8996 0 (autoclean) parport 37152 1 (autoclean) [parport_pc lp] autofs 13348 0 (autoclean) (unused) tulip 43552 1 iptable_nat 19960 0 (autoclean) (unused) ip_conntrack 21244 1 (autoclean) [iptable_nat] iptable_mangle 2776 0 (autoclean) (unused) ipt_REJECT 3736 6 (autoclean) iptable_filter 2412 1 (autoclean) ip_tables 14936 6 [iptable_nat iptable_mangle ipt_REJECT iptable_filter] ide-scsi 10512 0 scsi_mod 107176 2 [sr_mod ide-scsi] ide-cd 33608 0 cdrom 33696 0 [sr_mod ide-cd] nls_iso8859-1 3516 1 (autoclean) nls_cp437 5116 1 (autoclean) vfat 13084 1 (autoclean) fat 38712 0 (autoclean) [vfat] mousedev 5524 0 (unused) keybdev 2976 0 (unused) hid 22244 0 (unused) input 5888 0 [mousedev keybdev hid] usb-uhci 26188 0 (unused) usbcore 77024 1 [hid usb-uhci] ext3 70368 3 jbd 52212 3 [ext3] /etc/modules.conf Relevant bit ********************************* ***Please Note I have tried the recommended i2c entries here also, it still doesn't work*** **************************************** alias char-major-81 bttv options bttv card=10 radio=1 options tuner debug=1 lspci -vv (relevant bit) 00:08.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture (rev 11) Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc.
