Hello,
As a follow-up, S-video with a signal taken from the SCART on my telly
works fine. The colours aren't great but I'm guessing that's cos I
didn't take the time fiddling around to make them better :-).
Again, any help would be appreciated, I am losing faith in what was once
a Great Idea of Mine (TM) - telly on the computer :)
TIA
Philip

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?
