Re: Pinnacle PCTV Pro tuner problem

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



Eyran,

Try modifying your /etc/modules.conf to include:

options bttv card=52
options tuner type=2

That's assuming you've got a Philips NTSC tuner. If
that's not the correct type, you should attempt to
modprobe -r and then modprobe with varying options
until you find the correct values.

Here's a list:

  type=0 - Temic PAL (4002 FH5)
  type=1 - Philips PAL_I (FI1246 and compatibles)
  type=2 - Philips NTSC (FI1236 and compatibles)
  type=3 - Philips (SECAM+PAL_BG) (FI1216MF, FM1216MF,
FR1216MF)
  type=4 - NoTuner
  type=5 - Philips PAL_BG (FI1216 and compatibles)
  type=6 - Temic NTSC (4032 FY5)
  type=7 - Temic PAL_I (4062 FY5)
  type=8 - Temic NTSC (4036 FY5)
  type=9 - Alps HSBH1
  type=10 - Alps TSBE1
  type=11 - Alps TSBB5
  type=12 - Alps TSBE5
  type=13 - Alps TSBC5
  type=14 - Temic PAL_BG (4006FH5)
  type=15 - Alps TSCH6
  type=16 - Temic PAL_DK (4016 FY5)
  type=17 - Philips NTSC_M (MK2)
  type=18 - Temic PAL_I (4066 FY5)
  type=19 - Temic PAL* auto (4006 FN5)
  type=20 - Temic PAL_BG (4009 FR5) or PAL_I (4069
FR5)
  type=21 - Temic NTSC (4039 FR5)
  type=22 - Temic PAL/SECAM multi (4046 FM5)
  type=23 - Philips PAL_DK (FI1256 and compatibles)
  type=24 - Philips PAL/SECAM multi (FQ1216ME)
  type=25 - LG PAL_I+FM (TAPC-I001D)
  type=26 - LG PAL_I (TAPC-I701D)
  type=27 - LG NTSC+FM (TPI8NSR01F)
  type=28 - LG PAL_BG+FM (TPI8PSB01D)
  type=29 - LG PAL_BG (TPI8PSB11D)
  type=30 - Temic PAL* auto + FM (4009 FN5)
  type=31 - SHARP NTSC_JP (2U5JF5540)
  type=32 - Samsung PAL TCPM9091PD27
  type=33 - MT2032 universal
  type=34 - Temic PAL_BG (4106 FH5)
  type=35 - Temic PAL_DK/SECAM_L (4012 FY5)
  type=36 - Temic NTSC (4136 FY5)
  type=37 - LG PAL (newer TAPC series)
  type=38 - Philips PAL/SECAM multi (FM1216ME MK3)
  type=39 - LG NTSC (newer TAPC series)
