Need driver for ATV-TUNER-F



Thanks a lot, Hermann!

While changing to PAL-Nc didn't change much, It gave me something to
play with.
For some unknown cosmic reason, I tried PAL-M, and behold! glorious tv
reception in all its splendour :)

here's what I put in /etc/modprobe.conf:

options bttv card=68 tuner=43 radio=1 bttv_debug=1 bttv_verbose=2
options tuner debug=1 pal=M
options tda9887 debug=2



and here's dmesg's output:

with this I got a signal but not very clear.. then playing with tvtime
settings, I configured it for PAL-M, then in the video processing I set
the deinterlace option to Television Full Resolution and the Attempted
framerate to half-framerate (top or bottom, depends.. sometimes it
worked with top, then moving the antenna it seemed to lose sync or
something, then changing to bottom the image came back to normal).

I bet I can make it work better with an appropiate card selection.. and
I'll try it at home with cable and see how it goes.

Thanks again for the tips, and I'll post back if I can manage any
improvements.


Cheers,

Chalito
