Just for all interested, I've verified that this happens also with the plain Pinnacle PCTV with a TDA9885. What seems to happen here is that if I load the tuner module forced to type=33 and then load bttv, I can (sort of) control the MT2032 (it changes channels, but they don't come in right and I don't alway get audio, etc, etc). If I then load the tda9887, it seems to keep working. However, if I then unload everything and load tuner and bttv again, I can no longer get the tuner to respond. The only way I've talked to the TDA is by loading the tda9887.o module -- which looking at what that module does, might not be doing the wrong thing for me anyway, since it seems to be trying to set a PAL mode, but I need NTSC. -- Wesley J.
