I am struggeling with my (new) Pinnacle PCTV Pro card.
The card works fine, installs OK, but.... I cannot get any TV channels
above 263 MHz.
I am using bttv 0.7.104 ( came with distrib. RH9 ), xawtv 3.81 and
kernel 2.4.20-19.9 (of the shelf .. )
Card Info
¨Pinnacle PCTV pro PAL-BG/I/DK/SECAM Retail D/GB/NL rev.C :
( bttv detekts card 39 =Pinnacle PCTV Studio/Rave ? )
chips bt878 / MPS 3410G-B11 / TDA9886
( bttv detekts a TDA9887 ? )
kristals 18.432 / 4.000 / 28.363636 ( insmod options PLL=1 (28MHz) worked
... both other options ( no PLL + 35MHz did not )
Tuner MT2032 (autodetekt)
FM radio ¨stereo¨ ( says it on the box .... up until now I only get mono )
TV is in stereo !!
Oh .... using PAL
From the Message dump I found out, that frequencies above 263MHz
somehow are get screwed up

All higher freqencies do not match the ¨rfin¨ freq. of the MT2032 !!
----- < snip > -----
I cannot figure out why this happens and why it goes wrong.
I already moved my card, changed the insmod settings, changed frequency
tables, made my own freq.table (cable freqencies from the cable-gay )
....... nothing changed.
FM radio freqencies all work fine ( lower freqencies )..... exept for
the stereo thing .... that is another problem ( ? )
Any one has any idea ... suggestions ?
