I recently bought a Jetway TV Tuner, ...

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.

Did you remove the Jetway sticker, yes or no?
Removing the cover is useless.

Yes, i removed the sticker, nothing underneath.


			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.

How do you know you tuned to a tv station?


I have a wintv pci card that was in the system before it was replaced with this card. The channels are all tuned in previously with the other card. I don't see why it would need to be tuned in again, as all the frequencies etc are already set. I have also run scantv which comes with xawtv, and i get nothing.
