I think this guess is wrong!

Because it is reported by the tuner as type 4 and the fmt of the tuner is set to PAL(D/K) I'm nearly 100% sure, that you have the original tuner.ko from the kernel somewhere under /lib/modules installed. So this tuner.ko is loaded and not the one from IVTV.! I would do the following: 1) search for all the tuner.ko and remove them 2) reinstall the ivtv driver 3) remove the tuner=38 from the modprobe ivtv line 4) make depmod -a 5) shutdown -h now 6) wait for 30 seconds (clear memory of PVR card) 7) restart and look at the dmesg for the tuner type hope this helps you Regards Marcel ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
