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
...

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.
So this is an unknown tuner chip. bttv does not try to program this. So snow and noise it expected.
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: ???
TDA9887 can be at four possible slave addresses, e.g. 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).
tvaudio is wrong.
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 a new type of PCTV card not yet supported?
yes.
