Marion,
It is kind of you to offer your help on this matter. I have installed kwintv and
the video portion works beautifully. I still cannot figure out how to get the
sound to work. I am fairly new to the linux scene so please bear with me :) This
is what I have done so far-
Edited my /etc/conf.modules by adding
pre-install bttv /sbin/modprobe tuner
options -k bttv card=3
options -k tuner type=2
Then I do a "modprobe bttv" and start kwintv.
Am open for any suggestions or advice as I am still learning. I am using an STB
PCITV card with a Brooktree 878. It also has an FM tuner that I would like to get
working after I tackle the TV's sound problem! Thanks again, Marion, and may God
bless you!
John
