Hello there.
I just got a WinTV GO and tried to use it with 2.4-prerelease. Currently,
I can't seem to grab a correct picture from the Composite1 or the
Television input. Here's the relevent info from dmesg:
Linux video capture interface: v1.00

Here's the modules.conf file, as it seems to be requested often too:
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 bttv
pre-install bttv modprobe -k tuner; modprobe -k msp3400
options bttv radio=0 bttv_verbose=2 bttv_debug=1
options tvmixer debug=1
options tvaudio debug=1
options msp3400 debug=2
options tuner debug=1
The system is a Celeron 600 on an Intel D815EEAL motherboard, 128MB SDRAM,
built-in video controller. It's a fresh install of Slackware 7.1, with
the kernel upgraded to 2.4.0-prerelease.
I am in the USA, so it is correct as NTSC. Using xawtv-3.27, I run these
series of commands (after a clean system boot):
$ v4lctl snap jpeg full /mnt/media/one.jpg
v4l: bttv version 0.7.52
$ v4lctl setnorm NTSC
v4l: bttv version 0.7.52
$ v4lctl setinput Composite1
v4l: bttv version 0.7.52
$ v4lctl snap jpeg full /mnt/media/two.jpg
ioctl VIDIOCGTUNER: Invalid argument
v4l: bttv version 0.7.52
$ v4lctl setinput Television
ioctl VIDIOCGTUNER: Invalid argument
v4l: bttv version 0.7.52
$ v4lctl snap jpeg full /mnt/media/three.jpg
v4l: bttv version 0.7.52
$
one.jpg is available at http://in.divo.net/one.jpg (8k)
two.jpg is available at http://in.divo.net/two.jpg (113k)
three.jpg is available at http://in.divo.net/three.jpg (19k)
So, now what? I have generated ~/.xawtv using scantv:
$ head --lines=5 ~/.xawtv
[defaults]
norm = NTSC
freqtab = us-cable
input = Television
So now I'm very very lost.. what now? I went through a similar process
with an Avermedia TV/FM98 Stereo, and had the same types of output as
shown above. I'm really at a loss. This is my second TV card, and my
third is coming in the mail (Pinnacle PCTV Pro). Any help would be much
appreciated. Thanks!
