I had this same problem with that card. Make sure you get all the bttv
settings correct in your modprobe.conf file. I believe that the
cardtype is 64 and tuner is 2
I hope this helps

I have an ATI TV Wonder VE for my capture card. The tuning seems
to be
way off i.e. if I set it to channel 22 I see channel 20. I do have the
setting right for the tuning types NTSC and USCable. I also get the
same
results from Xawtv. I can use the fine-tune in Xawtv to get the picture
stronger but it is way off like two whole channels. I am thinking
that the
used tuner card I have is bad but I wanted to ask since I have no
experience
with TV capture or MythTV. I have the current build of KnoppMyth
(5A10) and
a P3 733 with 512Mb ram.
The problem is that bt878 and tuner are picking the wrong tuner. You
will have to use the tuner= or card= kernel parameters for that card.
After that it will go into the correct tuning automatically. Mandrake
has a control panel for that. Otherwise, its kind of tricky because
they changed the parameters recently. Try
modprobe tuner type=2
modprobe bttv gbuffers=4
See how that works. Otherwise you need to figure out what parameters
are right. If it tells you to use card=, I think its a card=64.
Another unrelated easy question I had for the experienced. Do I
need a
faster video card for live TV, if I run the front end and back end on
the
same box? Do I need a more powerful capture card for live TV, if I
run the
front end and back end on the same box? Because Live TV is very choppy.
Use gkrellm to see what cpu % you are using when just recording. See
what % it is when you are watching TV (in a window). If the % jumps,
your display is probably too dependent on the cpu. Make sure you are
using an accelerated driver for your graphics card.
