Thanks, Robert!

It seems it should work. ( not tested yet ).
Checking signal strength is not the right way, cause it is strength of TV
signal. If I am not right please correct me.

Regards,
Dmitry.

RD> I'm assuming you're using the stable bttv driver (v0.7.8) under 2.4.

RD> If that doesn't kill your card and if it works add the snipped of code

RD> btwrite(BT848_ADC_RESERVED|BT848_ADC__AGC_EN,BT848_ADC);

RD> The bttv driver has support for signal strength detection, which can be

RD> //assuming /dev/video device is opened
RD> struct video_tuner vt;
RD> ioctl(video_dev_fd,VIDIOCGTUNER,&vt);
RD> printf("Signal Strength = [%d]\n",vt.signal);


RD> Cheers,
