Which version of the tuner def are you using? The thresh2 value in the first patch was off a bit, per the data Jason got his hands on. Should be 442 instead of 454. If that's already squared away, I dunno what's up. Is the quality bad across all channels? I do see some high channels that aren't perfectly crisp, but that may be from my umpteen splits before the cable gets to my test box, and the lower channels (3 through at least the 30's) are all very sharp. > Not that I know what I'm talking about at all, so > I'll just shut up ;) By all means, keep talkin' so we can get to the bottom of this. ;-) > BTW, Jarod, I got it working fine with one of my 250s in the box. Cool, good to hear. My 150 and 500 haven't yet co-habitated with anything but each other and an Air2PC card. :-) Haven't yet tried 'em with Myth either. > On Sunday 27 February 2005 19:15, Jason Knisley wrote: > > Nope, actually, it's supposed to be on 0061.

Axel says the radio tuner on this card is completely independent of the video tuners, instead of shared like many prior models. I have a feeling that the in-kernel tuner module is picking up the radio tuner at 0060. -- Jarod Wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
