Hi, I just bought a PCTV Pro today after reading various reviews, seeing it was quite high quality. I also check around the net for linux support, and it seemed to be supported by bttv TV works fine, great picture and sound (using 0.7.102), but radio doesn't work at all. After perusing this list's archives, I'e seen it suggested that passing simple=0 or simple=1 to msp3400 might work. It doesn't :P Upon starting 'radio -f 105.7' I get about a quarter of a second of static, and then nothing. The dmesg output from this is mt2032_set_if_freq rfin=400000000 if1=1090000000 if2=38900000 from=32900000 to=39900000 mt2032: rfin=400000000 lo1=284 lo1n=35 lo1a=4 sel=3, lo1freq=1491000000 mt2032:

Any help would be greatly appreciated. You guys have done great work so far with bttv, I can watch TV perfectly on my PC now :) Just not radio... --Michael Pearce
