Re: Pinnacle PCTV and video4linux

[Jeremy Higgs <jhiggs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks guys.

Gerd, I applied that patch to 
/usr/src/linux/drivers/media/video/tuner.c, added back my options lines 
to /etc/modules.d/v4l and ran modules-update (tuner with type=33 and 
card with card=39). When I rebooted, there didn't seem to be any 
errors, it was recognised as an MT20xx universal and the tuner reports 
that a microtune MT2050 was found.

However, when I try and run scantv -c /dev/v4l/video0, it still finds 
nothing. I get this message (once) in /var/log/messages, however:

<DATE/TIME> gentoo tuner: TV freq (0.00) out of range (44-958)

I also noticed that channels 1 - 11 are scanned, and then it jumps up 
to 28 - 69. This may have something to do with the frequencies used 
over here though. (I've chosen the PAL option (0), and Australia (9) at 
the prompts in scantv).

Thanks a lot!
