Hi Stanley I am getting only static. I am trying to receive terrestrial TV from my aerial I believe the transmitting frequencies are between 471.25 and 847.25 in 8MHz steps. I also believe locally the relevant frequencies are:
ITV 487.25MHz BBC1 511.25MHz CH4 535.25MHz BBC2 567.25MHz CH5 583.25MHz I got the above information from http://www.bbc.co.uk/reception and have been using ptune-ui.pl and the pal-europe setting. I have been stepping through all the frequencies and have not got any sort of picture yet. I reversed the order of loading the tuner and tda9887 modules and tried again (exactly the same). I don't know if it is of any relevance, but I am getting i2c address 0x50 not found. Below is the dmesg output, maybe that will show something useful. As you can see the PAL=I option is apparently not working. tda9887: Unknown parameter `PAL' tuner: Unknown parameter `PAL' Linux video capture interface: v1.00 ivtv: Unknown parameter `PAL' ivtv: ==================== START INIT IVTV ==================== ivtv: version 0.3.2 (d) loading ivtv: Linux version: 2.6.8.1-12mdk 686 gcc-3.4 ivtv: In case of problems please include the debug info ivtv: between the START INIT IVTV and END INIT IVTV lines when ivtv: mailing the ivtv-devel mailinglist. ivtv: User specified WinTV PVR 250 card ivtv: Found an iTVC16 based chip PCI: Found IRQ 10 for device 0000:00:0e.0 PCI: Sharing IRQ 10 with 0000:00:05.0 PCI: Sharing IRQ 10 with 0000:00:07.0 PCI: Sharing IRQ 10 with 0000:00:09.2 ivtv: Unreasonably low latency timer, setting to 64 (was 32) ivtv: VIA PCI device: 0x3099 vendor: 0x1106 tda9885/6/7: chip found @ 0x86 ivtv: i2c attach [client=tda9887,ok] tuner: chip found at addr 0xd6 i2c-bus ivtv i2c driver #0 ivtv: i2c attach [client=(tuner unset),ok] tveeprom: Ignoring new-style parameters in presence of obsolete ones ivtv: i2c client addr: 0x50 not found! ivtv: Error -19 reading Hauppauge eeprom. ivtv: Possible causes: the tveeprom module was not loaded, or ivtv: the eeprom kernel module was loaded before the tveeprom module. saa7115: Ignoring new-style parameters in presence of obsolete ones saa7115: starting probe for adapter ivtv i2c driver #0 (0x10005) saa7115: detecting saa7115 client on address 0x42 saa7115: writing init values ivtv: i2c attach [client=saa7115[0],ok] saa7115: status: (1E) 0x40, (1F) 0xc0 msp3400: Ignoring new-style parameters in presence of obsolete ones msp34xx: ivtv version msp34xx: init: chip=MSP3415G-B8, has NICAM support, simple (D) mode, simpler (G) no-thread mode msp34xx: $Id$ compiled on: Feb 10 2005 13:11:49 ivtv: i2c attach [client=MSP3415G-B8,ok] ivtv: Encoder revision: 0x02030015 ivtv: Configuring WinTV PVR 250 card with 4 streams ivtv: Create DMA stream 0 using 256 16384 byte buffers 4194304 kbytes total ivtv: Registered v4l2 device, streamtype 0 minor 0 ivtv: Create DMA stream 1 ivtv: Registered v4l2 device, streamtype 1 minor 32 ivtv: Create stream 2 using 40 52224 byte buffers 2097152 kbytes total ivtv: Registered v4l2 device, streamtype 2 minor 224 ivtv: Create DMA stream 3 using 455 4608 byte buffers 2097152 kbytes total ivtv: Registered v4l2 device, streamtype 3 minor 24 saa7115: decoder set input (4) saa7115: now setting Composite input ivtv: Setting audio matrix to input 3, output 1 ivtv: Switching standard to PAL. ivtv: ivtv_enc_thread: pid = 7479, itv = 0xd0ee6740 saa7115: decoder set norm PAL saa7115: set audio: 0x01 ivtv: Initialized WinTV PVR 250, card #0 ivtv: ==================== END INIT IVTV ==================== Best Regards Trev On Friday 11 Feb 2005 08:17, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi, > > Well, your list of modules looks okay, but try and reverse the order of > loading the tuner and tda9887 modules. > (tda9887 should get loaded automatically by the tuner module, but it looks > as if the PAL mode setting isn't passed into the tda9887 module). > > Also not quite sure if your tuner needs this module, but what I've seen > from a few datasheets is that most modern Philips multistandard tuners (ME > versions?) use this chip to demodulate the signal into video/audio. > > Are you getting any picture?
