Sadly the tuner might be required, I'm going to have to multiplex some signals on different channels, get them to the box, and then pull them apart with the bt cards. I can do this with off-the-shelf modulators and tuners. I've had my share of problems with tuners so far. I have owned two bttv cards in my life but neither had tuners. I just borrowed a wincast/TV card to play with the tuner, but haven't gotten it to tune a picture yet. (composite input works) I guess this is a change of pace for this thread, but does anybody know what parameters are needed for that tuner? The lid of the RF box on the card is labelled "PHILIPS", and it's an NTSC card. I get a lot of this: (last three lines repeat as long as I try to change channels using xawtv) dev# insmod tuner.o type=0x02 dev# dmesg (...) i2c-core.o: driver i2c TV tuner driver registered. tuner: chip found @ 0xc2 bttv0: i2c attach [Philips NTSC] i2c-core.o: client [Philips NTSC] registered to adapter [bt848 #0](pos. 0). tuner: TV freq (0.-6) out of range (44-958) tuner: TV freq (0.-6) out of range (44-958) tuner: TV freq (0.-6) out of range (44-958) -- Trevor Boicey, P.
