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
...
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.

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.
