Hi
I have bought a Pinnacle PCTV USB2 tv-adapter and are having some troubles getting it to work.
I read on the net that the usbvision driver should work, but I get some errors...
First of all, I have Debian system (Sarge) with kernel 2.6.8.1. I have compiled modules for v4l and ic2.
I downloaded usbvision-0.9.7 and compiled it without any trouble. I modprobe the module with
modprobe usbvision CustomDevice="0x2304 0x0208 -1 7111 3 PAL 2 1 1 5 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1"
which seems fine, although cat /proc/kmesg gives
<6>usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using address 8

Anyway... I try to start mplayer mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l
Which returns (among other things)
Playing tv://.

If I quit mplayer I have to rmmod usbvision within a second ot two - or part of my kernel freezes (X and mouse and programs works, keyboard does not work, ssh (to my machine) works, cannot shut computer down with init 0).
The kernel message from when I was running mplayer is:
