Sorry, that came out wrong... If you are in the States and you just want to watch tv, use v4l1 driver, if you want to capture, use v4l2 driver. If you are in Europe, just use v4l2.

You can stop at step five if you just want to use TV. You'll run into problems with xawtv if you use NTSC though... If you just want V4l1, use the v4l1 driver and if you want to capture, use V4l2.

You're going about this all wrong. There, I said it. You didn't say if you're using the kernel version (bad) or gerd's version (good). In any case, you should be using gerd's version, and if you are, you should use "modprobe bttv card=foo" where foo equals your card as it is listed in CARDLIST. You shouldn't have to load tuner or msp3400 manually, if you have kmod enabled in your kernel. - Eric _______________________________________________ Video4linux-list mailing list Video4linux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/video4linux-list _______________________________________________ Video4linux-list mailing list Video4linux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/video4linux-list
