Hello
I have a RH7.2 with default kernel (2.4.7-...) on a BP6 with dual
Celeron 366 running at 416.
I've been trying to make my pixelview card run since 2 days and I still
can't work it out. When I try xawtv 3.64, I don't get any channels
(well, I get something, but it is of VERY VERY bad quality). It is the
same for sound (I get the usual sound where there should be no channels
but where the channels should be, I have really bad quality sound). And
neither do I get channels with with scantv. I m in France and I use
SECAM norm. i m sure of my antenna, because of friend of mine tried it
out with his tv-card.
I'm fairly new to linux, so any help would be appreciated..

Finally, I use Nvidia driver 1.0-1054.
I really can't imagine what I did wrong.
Any help would be VERY VERY appreciated.
Thanks in advance and excuse me for my english please.
