Hello,
I bought a PixelView PlayTV pro a couple of days ago and I've been
trying to get it to work in Linux since then. I haven't seen any
similar problems reported in the list archives, so I assume it's
something I'm doing incorrectly. I haven't managed to get a picture
out of xawtv or wmtv yet.
I'm using Debian unstable, kernel 2.4.0-test12 patched with
bttv-0.7.51-2.4.0-test12.diff, XFree86 4.0.2-1 and xawtv 3.26. I have
these lines in /etc/modules.conf:
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 bttv
options bttv card=37 pll=1 radio=0
options tuner type=5
options tvaudio tea6300=1
When I modprobe bttv it seems to work fine, I get these messages in
/var/log/syslog:
bttv: driver version 0.7.51 loaded
bttv: using 2 buffers with 2080k (4160k total) for capture
bttv: Bt8xx card found (0).

tuner: chip found @ 0x61
bttv0: i2c attach [Philips PAL]
i2c-core.o: client [Philips PAL] registered to adapter [bt848 #0](pos. 0).
However, when I try to run xawtv nothing happens. The window opens
and stays black, and clicking in the window has no effect. In
/var/log/syslog I get these nasty messages:
bttv0: PLL: 28636363 => 35468950 ... ok
bttv0: irq: SCERR risc_count=06697008
Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
Steven
