[opensuse] Pinnacle PCTV Pro radio stopped working
Good morning! I have a Pinnacle PC/TV Pro with radio that used to work under SuSE 9.3. Parameters for bttv: "options bttv autoload=1 card=52 pll=2 radio=1 tuner=0" In SuSE 10.1 (bttv 0.9.16) the TV does work, but the radio does NOT. And that's the thing I really miss... I read the kernel source and started trying things: pll=0 -> no message in syslog pll=1 -> "PLL: 28636363 => 35468950 ..........failed" pll=2 -> "PLL can sleep, using XTAL (35468950)" card=39 -> seems to work, but puts "PLL: 28636363 => 35468950 ..........failed" in syslog anytime I change a channel with tvtime. tuner=0,1,2,5, -> I gave up after a while - the combinations are too many The ting that _really_ puzzles me is that tuning to 100.45 Mhz FM gives me FM radio with all of the above combinations. But my favorite station broadcasts at 98.6... :-( At most other frequencies I hear nothing (not even static). Is it a tuner problem? A phase lock loop? A stereo decoder? A mixer? It's an PC/TV Pro with an BT848, Philips TDA9800, TSA5522T, TDA5737M and two crystals 35.46895 and 28.63636 in a tin box. The Radio piggyback has an MSP3410D, Philips TDA1308 and once chip I cannot read without desoldering something. I've searched for the chip datasheets but I cannot understand them - I know nothing about TV (or radio) electronics. Question: Any ideas as to how to get the radio on a PC/TV Pro to work under 10.1?

tuner=0,1,2,5, -> I gave up after a while - the combinations are too many

Question:
Any ideas as to how to get the radio on a PC/TV Pro to work under 10.1?
Thanks in advance,

Did you set radio=1? Cheers. -- In a period of great joy and pleasure you are comforted by the thought that tragedy is just around the corner. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yes - I won't get an /dev/radio0 otherwise. So, with all of the combinations I tried, radio=1 is included. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

See the source code. BTW, isn't your tuner automatically detected?

<mumbling:> Antenna cable(s) OK?

I have a Pinnacle PC/TV Pro with a different chipset, but FWIW, my /etc/modprobe.d/tv (OSL-10.1) looks like this: ---8<--- alias char-major-81 videodev options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1 # YaST configured TV card # zsAr.FURnweI9FA4:Pinnacle PCTV alias char-major-81-0 bttv alias char-major-81-1 off alias char-major-81-2 off alias char-major-81-3 off ---8<--- You might want to turn debugging on for the modules that are involved (see output of lsmod). Usually specifying "debug=1" should suffice. Turn it off if you're done, because /var/log/messages will bloat. (Yes, debugging messages will appear in /var/log/messages and on tty10) You might find some hints in the source of the involved modules (you need to install the kernel-source-*.i586.rpm). Maybe 10.2 (due to come out in a few days!) has better detection for your card.
