Your tuner entry does not correspond to the datasheet ! Both FI1236MK2 and FM1236 datasheets are very clear: Low Band: 55.26 - 157.25 MHz Mid Band: 163.25 - 451.25 MHz Hi Band: 457.25 - 801.25 Mhz Now bttv only need the takeover points, and these are the only differences between these tuners: tuner=2: 157.25 | 451.25 tuner=17: 160 | 454 ohta: 140.25 | 450 So you should see a difference only for channels where you select a different band. On which channels do you see a difference? Do you have a clear picture in windows?
