Hi everyone, I'm having problems getting a brand new Pinnacle PCTV Pro card to work. Somewhat more precisely, according to the box it is a PCTVpro GB/D/NL Rev. C. The PCB is red, and is labelled EMPTYV-51014521-2.2A. It appears to have a Bt878A, an MSP3410G-B11 and a TDA9887-TS. However, which tuner is present is hard to tell, as it is protected from interference as well as from visual inspection by a neat metal shielding soldered onto the PCB. And this is, unfortunately, very much the problem. Composite video works, and seems quite promising, but TV and radio just give endless amounts of snow (and its auditory counterpart). Tuning does not appear to accomplish much, if anything at all. I've grepped through the archives of this list, and it appears most people with a Pinnacle PCTV Pro and tuning problems had an MT2032 tuner. Although this tuner is also picked by the driver when left to its own devices, it appears not to be the right choice for this particular card: tuner: probing bt848 #0 i2c adapter [id=0x10005] tuner: chip found @ 0xc0 i2c-core.o: client [(tuner unset)] registered to adapter [bt848 #0](pos. 1). ... tuner: pinnacle pal tuner: type set to 33 (MT2032 universal) MT2032: Companycode=3cbf Part=42 Revision=90 MT2032 hexdump: 42 90 20 c1 00 f7 7e 55 a4 08 85 92 8d 5b f0 00 24 3c bf 42 90 not a MT2032. I've also seen this dump: MT2032 hexdump: 42 2f 25 c1 00 63 10 8a 29 04 85 99 e3 b0 f0 0f 24 3c bf 42 2f not a MT2032. Oddly, although the board does contain a TDA9887, this chip is not seen by the detect tool (neither is it found by the tda9887 driver probe): $ ./detect 0x80: msp34xx/tea6300 sound processor 0x96: ??? 0xa0: eeprom (bt878, Hauppauge-848) 0xc0: tuner However, the tvaudio module reports a pic16c54 at address 0x96: tvaudio: found pic16c54 (PV951) @ 0x96 i2c-core.o: client [pic16c54 (PV951)] registered to adapter [bt848 #0](pos. 2). I'm using version 0.7.106 of the bttv drivers with kernel 2.4.20. I've tried all other tuner types just in case (to no avail). My question: is this actually a known type of card, or is this a new type of PCTV card not yet supported? If it is known, has anyone succeeded in getting it to work? Any suggestions, guesses and wild conjectures would be most welcome in any case. Thanks, Eyran -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ Bitte lächeln!
