I have bought a Pinnacle pctv. PAL and no radio. In order to run the latest bttv driver I downloaded the 2.4.21-pre5 stock kernel from kernel.org and compiled it on a Mandrake 9.0 system. This is dmesg output when I modprobe bttv: Linux video capture interface: v1.00 i2c-core.o: i2c core module i2c-algo-bit.o: i2c bit algorithm module bttv: driver version 0.7.104 loaded bttv: using 4 buffers with 2080k (8320k total) for capture bttv: Host bridge is VIA Technologies, Inc.

When I run scantv no station is found and when I use xawtv I get visual noise on a band at the top of the output window. I would at least expect the noise covering all of the output window. If I change chanels manually on xawtv, all I get is visual noise. Thank you Javier Santos
