Is this the bttv option pll??? As I have tried it set to 0, 1 and 2, they don't seem to have an effect. Maybe I'm not doing it correctly. I put in the line 'options bttv pll=2' into my modules.conf file and then remove the running bttv module with 'rmmod bttv' reload bttv with modprobe and then test the video card again with xawtv. Is this correct?? I'm using PAL input from a VCR at the moment and the video tape is definitely colour. The actual chipset on the cards are bt878 does this matter. I think bttv.o supports 878 ??!!??
