Hi again I have just looked on:
http://ivtv.writeme.ch/tiki-index.php?page=SupportedHardware and your card is not actually listed as supported.... Some other wintv pvr cards are listed as almost working. Your problems may be more than basic configuration. I would suggest subscribing to the ivtv-devel list and asking if your card is currently supported. I would assume you will need as a bare minimum the very latest code if indeed your card is supported Best of Luck Trev On Wednesday 07 Sep 2005 12:47, Trev Jackson wrote: > Hi Sascha > > I understand the "set" frequency does not always correspond to the > frequency that is actuall being used.
