45 isn't anywhere near a bandswitch threshold, so I can't think of any driver changes that would affect channel 45. 45 is crystal clear for me, there's a good chance you simply have some sort of interference source on cable 45. > I also want to try the change suggested by Charlie (137.25). > I will report tomorrow on how Charlie's numbers work for me. That may or may not work better, it depends on how much overlap there is between the coverage bands of the tuner. i.e. if 18 is too low for the midband VHF range for some tuners. (As I said before, 18 works perfectly fine for me despite being below the lowband threshold.) > I agree that anyone testing changes to this code should do a reboot.

Please report back on your results. Given that it's an NTSC tuner, it may likely not be in use anywhere in Europe. us-bcast, us-hrc, and the other nonstandard US cable frequency allocation are the only ones I think we have to worry about. My guess about the initial driver numbers being way off is that the info was obtained by someone testing US broadcast channels, which have some very large gaps in frequency coverage. _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
