No cable input from tv card
Hi, I have an old Zoltrix TV-Max tv capture pci card. I can't find a model number, and it's too old to get any technical specs from Zoltrix. It has a BT848AKPF chip on the card. It shows up in lspci as: 00:0a.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt848 Video Capture (rev 12) The card has s-video, composite a/v, and rf television inputs. I can view video from a camcorder through either the s-video or composite inputs (no sound, but that's a story for another day). But when I hook up my cable to the rf input, I don't get anything but static on every channel. I'm running mplayer under Mandriva 2006 Linux, with a 2.6.12-22mdk kernel, and driving the card with the bttv module, on an Athlon XP system. I compiled mplayer today from svn, revision 20653. I get the same results with kdetv as with mplayer, so the problem is probably not with mplayer (my apologies if I shouldn't be bringing it to this list). Any suggestions? Is there possibly some configuration option I need on the bttv module or elsewhere? Or am I out of luck with this card? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
