I can confirm "me too" mostly for the same hardware and using the new
0.7.103 driver but with white noise both for simple=1 and =0.
When activitng the radio, e.g. 'radio -f 103.3', I get the following in
syslog:
kernel: tuner: radio freq (400.00) out of range (65-108)
Is there a unit problem with the frequency numbers, or a bug in the
"read frequency to set the tuner" routine?
Additional comment/question on the TV-function of the card:
The tv-tuner worked only after getting the 0.7.102-driver and tuner=33.
When comparing with Windows, the TV-signal is weaker and easily
disturbed by moving the cable. Consequently the picture quality at some
channel can be significantly worse (from time to time) than when running
windows. Could there be a built-in pre-amplifer for the TV-card that is
not activated in linux, hence the worse reception?

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
Sure. Have you tried that?
Yeah, I have.
I'm using bttv 0.7.103 now, and the problem is still there, though very
slightly different. When simple is set to 1, I get no audio output at all,
not even for half a second. When simple=0, I get the static again, but this
time it's continuous - it doesn't cut out after half a second.
This thing just refuses to give radio output to me...
I know the card and antenna works - radio works perfectly in windows with the
Pinnacle drivers. Interestingly, if I listen to the radio in windows, then
reboot into linux without turning the machine off, I can listen to the radio
perfectly. The problem being, I can only listen to the station I was
listening to last in windows, and I can't watch TV any more. So that's not
really a problem.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be causing this. It seems to me
(me knowing nothing at all about tuner cards, or writing drivers...) that the
problem lies in the setting of the station. The audio output works just fine
