Hi, Freaky, you emailed me but when I reply your email address bounces. If you are going to email how about using a real address?
You wrote: **************************************************************************** ******* Heya, small ques, did you try the tuner 24? I'm at work now, so I can't test it from here, but I think it might be really close. It's a FQ1216ME: from tuner.h #define TUNER_PHILIPS_FQ1216ME 24 /* you must actively select B/G/D/K, I, L, L` */ Maybe it's pretty easy to mod the tuner.[ch] for the FQ1216AME MK4. I'm willing to try, but have very little programming experience, none in C/C++, I am not familiar with hardware nor electronics and/or their I/O. Looking at the source code for the tuner cards I think I might be able to do something with it, if someone can provide me with a datasheet. Doubt the code in tuner.[ch] is all that's necessary tho'. Regards **************************************************************************** ******* My reply: I think I did try this but I am in a similar situation, I am not a programmer or at least not in C/C++. The thing I think I couldn't work out was if you do select Tuner 24 how do you actively select one of the PAL/Secam options? What would be ideal is if a programmer had a look and worked out what the differences were between the FQ1216ME and FQ1216AME and modified the code accordingly. What do you think? At the moment I am using mine with XP and while not completely happy with the PVR software it does the trick. So if we can find a bit more info about how to actively select the type then it'd be worth a shot.
