folks, i have been unable to make my tv card work in linux, one of the reasons i still need to dual-boot windows. it's a bt878 card, so it should be well supported. yet when i try to tune it with xawtv or kwintv, i only see very faint ghostly figures shivering and wavering, and on days the reception is particularly good i can just about make out the HBO logo. i have tried both with "europe-west" and "scan the whole range", but no go. the scan fails to register any channel. here is what lspci shows: --------------------------------------------------------------------- 00:0a.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 (rev 11) 00:0a.1 Multimedia controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 (rev 11) --------------------------------------------------------------------- and what scanpci shows: --------------------------------------------------------------------- pci bus 0x0 cardnum 0x0a function 0x0000: vendor 0x109e device 0x036e Brooktree Device unknown pci bus 0x0 cardnum 0x0a function 0x0001: vendor 0x109e device 0x0878 Brooktree Device unknown --------------------------------------------------------------------- here's the relevant section from the output of dmesg: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Linux video capture interface: v1.00 i2c-core.o: i2c core module version 2.6.2 (20011118) i2c-algo-bit.o: i2c bit algorithm module version 2.6.2 (20011118) bttv: driver version 0.7.83 loaded bttv: using 2 buffers with 2080k (4160k total) for capture bttv: Host bridge is Intel Corp. 440BX/ZX - 82443BX/ZX Host bridge bttv: Host bridge needs ETBF enabled. bttv: Bt8xx card found (0).
