Problem with FlyTV Platinum33 Gold, Sound & SuSE10

Hi Paul!

I don't expect this to work.

Card=54 should do; the tuner is autodetected.

This is normal, since "Composite1" is Composite on the SVideo connector. Using 
this input, you should get black&white video from your SVideo source, or 
colour video if your SVideo cable doesn't actually carry an SVideo signal 
(which is the scenario for which this setting exists).

normal here.

Yes please.

The delay is owed to the audio feeding and processing. Unfortunately, until 
the TV viewing applications learn to handle sound-through-PCI natively, 
synchronisation will not be achievable.

Thanks so far - by how things look, we'll be able to point the FlyTV Platinum 
Gold to the plain Platinum's card data, since they're entirely compatible.

Peter
