 Hello,

 I have a TV card, Pinnacle PCTV with a PNY Verto GeForce FX 5200 PCI
 graphics card. If I log on as root the TV card works a treat. If I logon
 as user everythiing again is ok apart from the picture being black and
 white.

 To me this is obviouusly a permissions problem. But I've tried altering
 permissions on kdetv no change. xawtv is the same so I suspect I need to
 alter permissions, not on the gui frontends, but on the card itself.

I don't know the answer but I'm pretty sure I've seen discussion of this 
problem on other lists.  Have you tried google?  I think you'll turn up 
something.

Thanks for the information, it was very helpful.  I think I will go for the
350. If it doesn't work on MDK, I will just use it on my windows XP boot.

 PVR-350 contains an mpeg encoder and decoder hardware.  In other words you
 can capture directly to an mpeg file and save a ton of processing power.
 Likewise you can send an mpeg file directly to the card and get video out.
 Again saving a ton of processing power.

 The catch is support.  PVR-350 output is still bleeding edge.  You won't
 easily find drivers for Mandrake.  The encoder part (capture) is not so
 bleeding edge, but you'll still have trouble finding drivers for Mandrake.
 The 2.6 kernel support is still pretty fresh.

 You can get around the decoder (output) poor support with any number of
 graphic cards that have TV out.  In that case the TV-PVR-250 is a cheaper
 option.  It's exactly the same as the 350, but without the output.  The
PVR-
 250 has been supported in the 2.4 kernel for some time now and near as I
can
 tell, 2.6 kernel support is there too.  (at least that's what I've been
 told, I'm still trying).  You'll have to do your own leg work, it's not
part
 of the Mandrake config tools.

 If you can stand living on the edge, the PVR-350 should be a nicely
 supported hardware before too long, but the card may sit not fully used
 until then.

 In theory, ATI TV Wonder (capture only) cards should be supported, but
I've
 yet to produce proof of that.  Stay away from ATI all-in-wonder cards (as
 I've learned).

 Win-TV GO cards are easily installed and supported well.  Great if you're
 looking to get TV up on the monitor with a minum fuss (and they're

I wouldn't say that.  I've had them and they worked fine.  It probably depends 
on which one you have.  Radeon support is actually pretty good in the xorg 
xserver, so it depends on the tuner chip and if it a bt878 you should be good 
to go.

I personally use a Leadtek Winfast 2000XP.  I had to tweak it a little to get 
it set up since it didn't auto-detect correctly, but ince I got the correct 
module parameters to load, it works fine.

Also, don't count on using the infra-red remotes that come with a lot of 
cards.  There is a project to try and get them going like any other keyboard 
device in X, but it is not ready for prime time.

Re: [newbie] [TV-Card] No channels are found

Hi All,

I still can't get it to work. Is there anything that needs root access
or something?
Sometimes I have one channel that I can't change, sometimes I don't have
any channels at all. Even when I didn't change a thing. Just a reboot
would do the trick.

 Hi,
 
 I seem to have made some progress here. Unfortunately, I haven't got a clue
 how I did it. But I have one channel now. The weird thing now is that when I
 scan for channels, every frequency that is scanned is recorded in the
 channel list. But when I try to change te channel to another one, nothing
 happens. I only can watch that one channel.

  have you tried to use the different 'overlay' methods (under capture in
  xawTV)? these are sometimes specific to your video card's (not the tv
 card)
  capabilities, but this really looks to me as if you might try a different
  setting for frequency table, and or video source.
  Let us know if you do get it working? Ok?

pal) edit channels to suit you, save and close, this assumes the USA 
(bellsouth.net).

 Did you make sure the line-in is turned up in the mixer?

 Yes even if I turn all the mixer controls up all the way I cannot get any
soud from XawTV.  As far as I could see there were no volume controls with
Xaw so I pumped the voume up all the way with various mixers.

 Hi all
 
 My TV was hit by a lightning surge and has entered TV-heaven :-( If it is 
 beyond fixing I may consider getting a TV card for my 'puter rather than a 
 new TV. I don't really care about frame-grabbing etc: I just want to watch 
 the occasional program, and I don't care if it is fullscreen only.
 
 Can anyone suggest a hardware/software combo that works well, easily and 
 cheaply (pick any two) with Mandrake? We use the PAL TV setup where I 
 live, if that matters. Oh, yes, and my system started out as mdk 8.0, but 
 is by now best described as a Cooker special ...
 
 TIA
 Michel
