Hi ,

I recently bought a Jetway TV Tuner, ...
Or if anyone else has this card and has it working, please let me know.


This patch adds support for this card.
Besides this it clarifies card=4 and card=32 are identical and complements Cards.

Gerd, please apply.

Regards, Gunther

Hi,

I've installed the patch, compiled and installed bttv. It detects the
card ok, says its Jetway, and s-video and composite inputs work, but I
still can't get a picture on normal tv input. I get sound, which is just
interference, the picture in xawtv, is mainly black, with multi coloured
flickering dots along the top of the screen. I looked in the patch you
provided, and it says tuner=0 so i set that, but no picture. Is this

bttv.cards.c "tuner=0"  !=  insmod bttv tuner=0
bttv.cards.c "tuner_type=5 == insmod bttv tuner=5
So the default is tuner=5 (Philips PAL).

Gerd, this name coincidence is misleading, how about renaming
tuner -> tuner_pos && tuner_type-> tuner in bttv-cards.c ?

Alecs, try "insmod bttv card=78 tuner=2" if you live in NTSC land

correct, or do I need to try all the different makes and models of
tuner?

Remove the Jetway sticker to determine the exact tuner model.

There are no markings on the tuner on the card, I even took the cover off the tuner to see if there might be a manufacturers name somewhere on it, but couldn't find one. I've been through a few of the tuner options for insmod, and I get the same results with them all. I know the card isn't faulty, as it works ok in windows, but I have discarded windows completely now.
