Hi! I just jumped in on this thread. I've been using a Pinnacle PCTV Pro, with a Brooktree 878, for several years with no problems at all. I first used it with SuSE7.1 or 7.2 and am currently using it with 8.2, at the moment. I find that motv seems to work better for me in the last fews distros than kwintv. Some points: 1) YaST2 has an excellent setup utility for TV cards. In the expert mode, you can specify the tuner that's on the card in question. 2) Was the missing channel(s) by any chance a "digital-only" channel that can only been tuned by a digital cable box? 3) If you're using kwintv; as Eduard mentioned: Did you remember to check the "Scan whole frequency band" box in the setup "Wizard"? This is usually a safer bet than specifying a particular broadcast standard which may, or may not, be observed by your cable provider. Buena Suerte! /mel
Do you choose a country specific channel set or you do a full frequency scan? kwintv has such an option, check it out...
The 878 should be supported and working, otherwize you wouldn't get ANY channels!
Cheers Eduard

Hi (again)
But you must check the chips name physically, may be you have the new chip

It seems that I have the new chip: "Connexant Fusion 878A".
I used windows before and it worked perfectly.
