Hi, I have got the same problem. But I am not sure if this is a avicap problem or a problem with bttv itself.
I can only switch to some channels, with other a get this in the log files: tuner: TV freq (68002581.06) out of range (44-958) tuner: TV freq (68002669.06) out of range (44-958) tuner: TV freq (68002669.06) out of range (44-958) tuner: TV freq (68002058.06) out of range (44-958) tuner: TV freq (68002058.06) out of range (44-958) tuner: TV freq (68002037.06) out of range (44-958) tuner: TV freq (68002037.06) out of range (44-958) tuner: TV freq (68002501.06) out of range (44-958) tuner: TV freq (68002501.06) out of range (44-958) tuner: TV freq (68002669.06) out of range (44-958) tuner: TV freq (68002669.06) out of range (44-958) tuner: TV freq (68002613.06) out of range (44-958) tuner: TV freq (68002613.06) out of range (44-958) tuner: TV freq (68002357.06) out of range (44-958) tuner: TV freq (68002357.06) out of range (44-958) tuner: TV freq (68002557.06) out of range (44-958) tuner: TV freq (68002557.06) out of range (44-958) tuner: TV freq (68002314.06) out of range (44-958) tuner: TV freq (68002314.06) out of range (44-958) tuner: TV freq (68002279.06) out of range (44-958) tuner: TV freq (68002279.06) out of range (44-958) tuner: TV freq (68002837.06) out of range (44-958) tuner: TV freq (68002837.06) out of range (44-958) So either avicap is trying to set the wrong channels or bttv has mis guessed my tuner type.
