What happens if you do not specify a tuner type at all? Or is that what you were doing before.
AFAIK, the ivtv module is supposed to be able to determine and set the tuner type by itself, so you can technically omit 'options ivtv tuner=50'. What's the model number on the box? It should be next to the UPC symbol. Should be some number like 1045. > On Monday 03 January 2005 15:08, Gregory J. Haase wrote: >> You seem to have the same card that I have.
