Thanks for the suggestions. I've finally got my replacement card so I could try it out. It behaves exactly as the old one (so there is probably nothing wrong with either of them). The above doesn't seem to affect anything, the signal is as bad as ever in both cases. A few observations that might be relevant: The best image I've had so far, is at 670.62 MHz, where there is a very noisy (but at least sync-locked) image from a station I can identify. This station actually broadcasts on 663.250 MHz however. At 670.62, the sound is perfect and noise free. When using the S-video input, everything works perfectly. The problem seems to be the tuner, and nothing else. It's probably the same "cold boot" problem that many other people have, but I can't verify that, since I haven't got windows. This is rather annoying since I do have an I�C sniffer, and could fairly easily find out how the windows driver is initialising the chips. > If these don't help, I suggest searching the archives ( > http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/ivtv/ ) for PAL and SECAM. Yes, though I have already done that, of course. Can't hurt (much) to give it another try :-) Regards, Thomas -- 9876543210 Magic tab-o-meter. http://www.armware.dk/ ^ ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.
