This may be a bit off-topic for this list, but I've recently picked up an ATI All-In-Wonder VE, and it works just great, aside from a few issues.
1) From the minute the bttv module is loaded, sound begins to play from the
tuner through my sound card. I can mute 'line-in', but I figure there
*must* be a better way?
2) While using xawtv (and possibly other apps) all the stations seem to be
'one off'. For instance, I need to tune to channel 56 to see channel 55.
This is really a major issue for me, as I would like to use MythTV to
auto-record TV shows (and would rather record the shows I want).
I'm using RedHat 8.0 (stock RH kernel). Any suggestions would be great.
RH seems to find the card just fine.
