Well I unfortunately have a alot of experience with the M179's. I'm using FC3 with one of the later rc3 ivtv versions on a test box and it works fine. Granted I'm not using a amd64 system but that shouldn't have anything to do with it. What does your modprobe.conf look like? I will say the M179 is very very stubborn. You usually have to trick it especially on a reboot as this card doesn't get autorecognized by ivtv. If your getting static then thats a good sign. What I have to do sometimes is change the tuner to something that doesn't work then change it back to the right one. Like so, ivtvctl -p 0 ivtvctl -p 3. If composite(3) is what your using. Dennis
