Having been given Radio/TV card and finding it is working, I have had no success so far installing it in my Debian m/c running Sid,currently uptodate.
The card is a Prolink Pixelview Play TV Pak modelPV-Bt878P+ Rev4E >From the cardlist No.50 an exact match The tuner is an LG TPI8PSB02P Cardlist No.28 Inserting the bttv module using parameters indicated in the bttv Documentation - card=50 tuner=28 radio=1 pll=0 -. modconf produces --------- Installing module bttv.

The card works fine on radio on win98 temporarily installed on another partition on the same drive. Tv only shows noise there also tho' I have not tried to tweak anything there . Not really interested enough. If anyone is sucessfully using this card on Debian I would be very grateful to hear from them. -- Cheers Russ. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
