I'd appreciate any tip/guidance on this. I know for a fact the card - a Hauppauge WinTV PVR-350 (NTSC) - is capable of tuning and capturing PAL-N from the cable since I got it working under Windows - with the help of Hauppauge support. All I had to do in that case is to select "PAL-N" from the menu options in the WinTV2000 application.
Under Linux I'm unable to get anything other than B&W content - that is, reading the cable input as if it was NTSC - or pure garbage. These are some of the procedures I followed for testing this: 0) ivtvctl -p 4 (set input to 4 = Tuner 0) 1) ivtvctl -u 0 (set standard = NTSC) 2) ptune.pl -c 2 (tune channel 2) 3) mplayer /dev/video0 --> Displays the channel in B&W (aka NTSC) 0) ivtvctl -p 4 (set input to 4 = Tuner 0) 1) ivtvctl -u 1 (set standard = PAL) 2) ptune.pl -c 2 (tune channel 2) 3) mplayer /dev/video0 --> Displays only garbage I'm using knoppMyth R5A30 with ivtv 0.4.0.
