Hello guys
Recently i installed the new suse linux 9.0 on my computer. The computer has also a pinnacle pctv pci card inside.
Should be supported by SuSE, my bt878 (Kworld TV) is supported of course if is Pinnacle PCTV Studio Pro, Studio/Rave or Sat
The setup detected the card automatically. After playing around with the tv applications (kwintv, xawtv) I noticed, that I'm not able to get all the channels.
Well I still do not understand xawtv
I considered the channels list from our cablenet. I noticed that all UHF channels and some VHF OSB channels are impossible to get.
The important in this kind of detection is the antenna ( of course if you choosed the right tuner )
I found out that, it has something to do with the driver, because before I had linux on my computer I used windows and there the tv card worked very well with all channels. The cable is also working correctly, checked it with a normal TV.
You cant get cable either? well may be if you do a phone call to your cable provider Tech staff, real tech staff they can tell you the perfect match in tuner. If you do not remember tuner used by windows ( is the same)
So I started yast and went to the tv-card section. Here I'm able to select a tuner. The default option, which was selected, is standard tuner. I tried a few, but the problem is that I don't exactly know which tuner device I have.
You must choose your country tuner in Europe is PAL and in AmericaNTSC in the Pci card instructions you must find the right tuner, (do not use predermined, detected or standard) Or just try with all.
But there was no change to the channels problem.
Today I tried to look for some tuner names directly on the pci card, but I didn't find anything. One one big "chip" there is the pinnacle logo and on one another chip there is "Connexant Fusion 878A".
