I recently bought a Pinnacle PCTV card but I ran into some problems while trying to set it up under Linux. Of course, it works perfectly under Windows. As written on the box, it's a 'PCTV PAL - BG/I/DK Retail D/GB/NL'. I couldn't get much information about the tuner, only that it's a Temic or a Philips. If I tune into some station while in Windows, I can continue watching it under Linux after I reboot. The bttv faq tells me to insmod the tuner module, but that dosen't help at all. I've tried most tuner types (temic or philips) but still couldn't change the frequency. insmod bttv bttv_verbose=2 card=39 gives me this: Sep 3 22:10:24 lothlorien kernel: bttv: driver version 0.7.97 loaded Sep 3 22:10:24 lothlorien kernel: bttv: using 4 buffers with 2080k (8320k total) for capture Sep 3 22:10:24 lothlorien kernel: bttv: Host bridge is VIA Technologies, Inc.
