I've got a PixelView PlayTV Pro card. The label on the box has
"PV-BT878P+RC".
The output of lspci shows...
05:01.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video
Capture (rev 11)
05:01.1 Multimedia controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Audio Capture
(rev 11)
If I load the bttv module with the following command.
insmod bttv card=70 tuner=2
I get
Using /lib/modules/2.4.20-20.9bigmem/kernel/drivers/media/video/bttv.o

But, when I start motv or xawtv all I get is a blue screen. I'm using
the usa-cable frequency table.
Any suggestions on what may be the problem/resolution?
Regards,
Ed
