Tvtime / Prolink Pixelview PlayTV Pro channel switching

Post by timon »

I've recently bought a Prolink Pixelview PlayTV Pro TV card and almost got it to work. Almost, because I've got sound and video - but of one channel and I cannot switch it. I've been searching google for this kind of problem and found no solution.

What I'm doing is loading the bttv module with following options:

Code: Select all

# cat /etc/modules.d/bttv 
alias char-major-89 i2c-dev
options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1

# bttv
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 bttv

options bttv card=16 tuner=10 remote=1 radio=1 pll=1 audiomux=1,1,4,8,3 gbuffers=4 gpiomask=15
dmesg gives me:

Code: Select all

Linux video capture interface: v1.00
bttv: driver version 0.9.15 loaded
bttv: using 4 buffers with 2080k (520 pages) each for capture

bttv0: registered device radio0
bttv0: PLL: 28636363 => 35468950 . ok
bttv0: add subdevice "remote0"
I tried all available tuners with all Pixelview's TV card settings and I cannot get it to change channels - it always plays the last channel card was tuned to in windows.

Can someone help me with this?

PS. Sorry for my english.

I also have that tv card and ran into the exact same problem. Never managed to get around it, so forgot about it and took the board out. :(
