Dear all,
I've just bought a tv card Pinnacle PCTV Pro in France (multistandard
tuner according to the documentation).
I'm using a vanilla 2.4.20 kernel with bttv enabled.
My success with this card are very limited, since I'm not able to
determine the correct model of tuner. Unfortunately, there is no
valuable indication on the card itself.
My best results are with tuner=33. By "best", I mean funny color lines
in xawtv window, when tuned on valid TV channels
My questions are the following ones:
1) Should I apply patch for bttv 0.7.106 (that does not seem to be
integrated in 2.4.20) ? May I expect better results ?
2) Should I go for v4l2 ?
3) Is the problem related to the fact that the card has a special tuner
model for european market (PAL/SECAM) ?
I can provide the list with all necessary informations about kernel
messages and/or components references found on the card.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Frederic Tronel.
