Thanks for the hint, but tuner=32 doesn't seem to work for me either. But, I have had some success. I've discovered the "Composite1" input works rather well. The "S-Video" input is entirely black and white. It's like the luminance signal is being digitized, but the chroma is being thrown away. The major issue I'm up against now is compatability. The software I'd like to use (mythtv) uses the V4L1 ioctls VIDIOCGMBUF and VIDIOCGMCAP, which aren't implemented in the cx88 driver. I see five solutions to this problem, but I don't have a clue as to their relative dificulty and overlap with others' efforts. Suggestions and hints are welcome! 1. Implement VIDIOCGMBUF, etc. in the cx88 driver. 2. Wait for someone else to do (1). Is anyone already thinking of doing this? 3. Change MythTV to work better with V4L2 drivers like the cx88. 4. Wait for someone else to do (3). Is anyone already doing this? There appears to be some code in place, but it's de-activated. 5. Buy a compatable video capture card. This seems like the least interesting option to me :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Yves Marcoz" <v4l@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <video4linux-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, November 20, 2003 12:37 PM Subject: Re: MSI TV-@nywhere > Hi, > > I've been able to use my MSI TV@nywhere by doing: > modprobe cx8800 tuner=32 > using the drivers from late october, in a 2.4 vanilla kernel. > > This tells the driver what tuner to use, even though I would have thought you > would not have been able to start XawTV at all if the tuner hadn't been set (but > I am only a beginner, and I am probably wrong). > > Using the above drivers/tuner, video looked good, but I haven't been able to set > up the audio.
