Hi all,
I'm having a strange problem getting my TV card working...
I've compiled kernel 2.6.10-gentoo-r4 (will upgrade to r5 this evening to check too) with the cx8800 modules for my TV card, and it seems to be recognised without any trouble at all. The tuner is detected correctly, the TV standard set correctly, and everything. I've tried tuning the card in tvtime and I manage to get a picture, but it's very snowy, black and white, and I get white noise instead of the channel audio. I've got the 'Norm' set to 'PAL' in tvtime and the aerial signal is pretty good. I've even tried connecting a PlayStation's RF adapter right into the video card and when I tune that I get a similar effect, except I get a hint of colour in the picture. I would have tried with xawtv as well, but I can't get it to compile with gcc-3.4, but since that was updated this morning I might give it another shot.
I'm living in the UK so the TV standard is PAL-I. Below is what the kernel logs when I load the module:

I've also tried with and without the v4l patches at http://dl.bytesex.org/patches/2.6.10-2/All-2.6.10.diff.gz.
Does anyone else have this card? Any ideas?
Many thanks! Chris
