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) --- eyran@xxxxxxx wrote: > 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.
