Pinnacle PCTV Pro

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hello,

It's me again - this time with a pinnacle pctv pro card. I have tried a number of things to get this working. Firstly, with a 2.4.20-rc1 the card is not automatically detected - the card is picked up as a type 39 (PCTV Rave IIRC) whereas it probably ought to be a type 52, if I understand correctly. Secondly tuner type is 4 (no tuner). Manually setting the tuner type (bttv.tuner=33) gives no satisfaction. With a patch I found (http://giga.cps.unizar.es/~magallon/linux/kernel/2.4.20-rc1-jam1/75-bttv-0.7.100.bz2) the card is still picked up as a 39 but the tuner is correctly detected. Using xawtv, however, never allows me to watch TV. Basically while the card is not tuned in the "snow" is correctly displayed, but when tuned in i get sound ok but simply get a solid blue picture. Fine tuning alters nothing until progressively the card is tuned out from the station at which point the "snow" returns... Manually selecting bttv.card=52 doesn't appear to have any affect, it behaves the same as with its auto-probed type=39. Is this normal?

Sorry to bother you again with all this, but anyone has any pointers on this I'd be greatful.
TIA

Philip
