I've installed my Pinnacle PCTV, and it seems to auto detect w/o issue. I assume this means the bttv driver is there, especially as I can start xawtv and get a signal. The problem is that the signal is very poor in quality, and I cannot change the channel- no matter what channel I change to and xawtv says it is on, it stays on what would be channel 65 under my normal cable. I've set the xawtv parameters to us-cable, tried pal, secam and every other option, but nothing seems to work for me.Thats me :-) I got exactly the same result as you when I first tried. What I did was to download the latest bttv-driver (stable). This version doesn't correctly autodetect the tuner, so you have to insert this line in your /etc/modules.conf (assuming that the tuner at your card is the same as mine):
This is probably a basic issue, hopefully easily resolved by someone with more experience than me. (my area is more BSD sys admin, now turned linux home hobbyist)
I'm running a full and fresh install of RH 8.0, kernel 2.4.18-14.
I've also played around with the defaults in .xawtv to no avail. THe person who responded to my original query below indicated that tuner should be set to "tuner=33", but I don't know quite where to set that.
options bttv card=52 radio=1 tuner=33
or if you load the driver manually: "modprobe bttv tuner=33 radio=1" (and i think it is important that tuner and bttv isn't loaded before you do this. To be sure: "rmmod bttv; rmmod tuner")
If this works, please tell if you can get the radio working (using programs like fm, gradio, xmms-plugin for radio). It doesn't work for me :-( (the bttv-autor has said he will check that problem)
Thank you all for any help you can spare on this. Jim D.

Could anyone suggest a TV tuner card that would be a very basic and easy install?
Then use any v4l-compatible program like xawtv or zapping.
One for which I won't have to research the net for drivers and the appropriate setup configuration, but can simply drop into a PCI slot, maybe have to run an RPM against for support, and take a stock X app for TV watching and possibly capture and be ready to run with. It all doesn't have to be quite that simple, but close to it would be great. Thank you all for any assistance you can give on this matter.

satellite related switches it is IMHO better to have an own struct,
e.g. struct v4l2_antenna and two ioctl calls for reading and setting
this struct. This would make the API more cleaner.
You're probably right about that. Some other things could be added to that struct too, like rotator control. I think we should wait until we have a good selection of hardware to study before adding any of that to the API, though (the same goes for ATSC for the most part). These things can be implemented as driver-specific ioctls or even v4l2 controls at first, and then added to the official API once we have more experience. -- Mark McClelland [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Video4linux-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/video4linux-list_______________________________________________ Video4linux-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/video4linux-list_______________________________________________ Video4linux-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/video4linux-list
