Kworld KW-TV878RF-PRO (878A chip) tuner not working

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



Hi,
  Help -- I borrowed a KWorld KW-TV878RF-PRO (which uses the 878A chip)
and I am trying to set it up.  It works fine under Windows, but I can't
get the tuner to work under Mandrake 9.1 (running 2.4.21 -- not sure
what version of bttv is included, how do you check?).  The composite
video-in works fine (using a VCR as the source), but I get snow with the
tuner (using xawtv).  I plugged in another tuner (complete video card
actually, ATI AIW 8500DV), and I have no trouble with it's tuner.  Any
pointers?
...thnx,
...dave

ps  The quality of the tuner under Windows was lacking compared to my
    ATI tuner -- are these cards generally not that great, or is it the
    tv program (used different programs under Windows)?  I'm pretty
    spoiled with the ATI tuner, it looks really good on my monitor.  :-)
