PCTV pro : cannot tune high freq.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] 

I am struggeling with my (new)  Pinnacle  PCTV Pro card.
The card works fine, installs  OK, but.... I cannot get any TV channels
above 263 MHz.

I am using  bttv 0.7.104 ( came with distrib. RH9 ), xawtv 3.81 and
kernel 2.4.20-19.9 (of the shelf .. )

Card Info
¨Pinnacle PCTV pro PAL-BG/I/DK/SECAM Retail D/GB/NL rev.C :
 ( bttv detekts card 39 =Pinnacle PCTV Studio/Rave ? )
chips   bt878 / MPS 3410G-B11 / TDA9886
 ( bttv detekts a TDA9887 ? )
kristals 18.432 / 4.000 / 28.363636 ( insmod options PLL=1 (28MHz) worked
  ... both other options ( no PLL + 35MHz did not )
Tuner  MT2032 (autodetekt)
FM radio ¨stereo¨  ( says it on the box .... up until now I only get mono )
TV is in stereo !!
Oh .... using PAL

From the Message dump I found out, that frequencies above 263MHz
somehow are get screwed up

All higher freqencies do not match the ¨rfin¨ freq. of the MT2032   !!

----- < snip > -----

I cannot figure out why this happens and why it goes wrong.
I already moved my card, changed the insmod settings, changed frequency
tables, made my own freq.table (cable freqencies from the cable-gay )
....... nothing changed.
FM radio freqencies all work fine ( lower freqencies )..... exept for
the stereo thing .... that is another problem ( ? )

Any one has any idea ... suggestions ?
