Please post the tuner and bttv settings, as well as the distro and
version.
I am glad you have solved it because when you said CPHO51 Askey TV
Tuner, I went "Oh Shit" {:-) One of mine is this and I'm never certain
on the settings. Prior to RH7.0, it had to be added manually and you
would have found the instructions in the slug archives on my site.
For some reason, it has disappeared out of my RH7.0 /etc/modules.conf. -
Woops, found it on the machine where I moved the card. The critical bits
are
options tuner type=0 debug=1
options bttv pll=1 card=24 radio=1
This is on RH7.0 with the expanded card-struct array.
As I understand it, Dynalink are once again dropping this card, although
there is nothing wrong with it. I just suspect they wrongly see USB
mickey mouse cams as killer competition.
I think all I was doing wrong was not re-loading/

Bing - you have to do the five rmmod 's, then five modprobes, unless you
have the pre-install statements in /etc/modules.conf.
