Javier, Using its bigger brother (the pro) i needed bttv 0.7.104 to get that snowband dissappeared. THEN I needed .105 to tune to channels with freq above ~300 Mhz. It works fine now. Check out http://home.t-online.de/home/gunther.mayer/bttv/bttv-gallery.html to find out how old/new your actual pctv chipset is. Pinnacle has several variations under the same name. Then check the mailinglist for remarks on your chipset... Remark: my first tries to get video operational were with the same motherboard you are using. I never got the video to operate in anything better than framebuffer -Ignace On Sunday 09 March 2003 01:36, jsantos wrote: > I have bought a Pinnacle pctv.
