I am trying to get video running on my system. I have RTFM a number of
times, but I am hitting a brick wall. The card is a "Pinnacle Studio
PCTV". I'm not sure if BTTV supports this card? It's not in the
CARDLIST, but should be close to a MiroPCTV. It has a "BT848AKPF" video
decoder chip, and a "Temic 4032 FY5" NTSC tuner. It has "miroVideo
PCTV" written on the card.
Any suggestions would be MUCH appreciated.
Running xawtv I get a strip of snow on the top quarter of the window,
and some blue screen. My system crashes if I move the xawtv window.
