Thanks Tim et al... So far, I have set the card up as a type 10 (hauppauge) although on inspecting the card itself it has a sticky label with MM205PCTV on it.. Anyway, I can now scan back amd forth although the picture is not excellent but the main prob is now the sound - there isn't any (all mixers etc are ok) Pete Tim Harris wrote:
I've just set up a Hauppage PCI/NICAM card in the last couple of days.
here are the settings that i use.
I've built the video drivers as modules.
Here's the script i load them with #!/bin/bash rmmod bttv rmmod msp3400 rmmod tuner rmmod i2c rmmod videodev # insmod videodev insmod i2c scan=1 i# i2c_debug=1 insmod tuner type=5 # debug=1 insmod msp3400 # debug=2 insmod bttv vidmem=0xe60 radio=0 card=10 pll=0 #
(I used this whilst looking for the correct settings, hence all the unloads and debugs).
I've used xawtv and kwintv. Here is the .xawtv file.
I discovered that I needed to fine tune by a couple of points to get the sound working.
--------------[start .xawtv] norm = PAL capture = on source = Television
freqtab = pal-europe pixsize = 128 x 96 jpeg-quality = 75
[ITV] channel = 23 fine = +2 key=3
[BBC1] channel = 26 fine = +2 key=1
[Channel4] channel = 30 fine = +2 key=4
[BBC2] channel = 33 fine = +2 key=2
[Channel5] channel = 37 fine = +3 key=5 ----------[end of .xawtv]

I have a tv card which uses a BT878 chip... I know that it is possible to get this to work but I seem to be going round in circles.. I have tried xtvscreen, xawtv and kwintv and the best I have managed so far is a wonderful picture but the same picture on every channel- none of which had any sound. I have decided to start afresh, uninstalled all of the above and start again, before I do so, has anybody really managed to get this to work well ? its the only reason now for booting windows up and I would love to get rid of it totally. being in the UK, I assume that I should be using PAL-europe, also in the driver/Makefile for bttv it asks for the tuner type, how do I determine that ?
many thanks
Pete
