Hey Tim and the rest.

I've got the TV-Wonder-VE also tim and i had the exacty problem you
discribe.  I'm not sure exactly what caused it.  Someone told me it was
because I was using a card type the assumed an EEPROM and the VE doesn't
have one.  Heres what I have in my modules.conf which makes the card look a
whole hell of a lot better then when I had it in my Windows machine with
ATI's software(ati's software sucks).

#first off the i2c stuff
alias char-major-89    i2c-dev
options i2c-core    i2c_debug=1
options i2c-algo-bit    bit_test=1

# bttv stuff
alias char-major-81    videodev
alias char-major-81-0 bttv
options bttv                 card= 64 radio=0
options tuner               tuner=2


my guess is all you'll have to change is the card=64 which is the card type
set for the ATI tv wonder VE,  and most importantly the Tuner=2,  which is
the phillips NTSC tuner and is the reason i had the exact same 75% off and
lack of color problem.
I hope this helps,  if not, "Damnit chris,  You otta your element."
