My tv-card (a pinnacle PCTV pro) just stopped working and I haven't got a clue why.

The only clue I've got so far is some parts I've found in /var/log/kern.log. This is wat it looked like a few days ago when it still worked:
Code:

Jan  9 20:11:30 localhost kernel: bttv: driver version 0.7.91 loaded
Jan  9 20:11:30 localhost kernel: bttv: using 2 buffers with 2080k (4160k total) for capture

Jan  9 20:11:30 localhost kernel: bttv0: registered device vbi0

...and this is what it looks like now:
Code:
Jan 11 17:45:23 localhost kernel: bttv: driver version 0.7.91 loaded

Jan 12 17:45:23 localhost kernel: bttv0: registered device video0
Jan 12 17:45:23 localhost kernel: bttv0: registered device vbi0


this also occurs now and then:
Code:
Jan 12 17:45:48 localhost kernel: tuner: tuner type not set

has it got anyting to do with this problem maybe?

I should probably mention that I've compiled the "BT848 Video For Linux"-stuff as "built-in" in the kernel...

Any ideas?

Thanks

hi,

do you have a file in /etc/modules.d, that contains the options for the bttv module??

it looks like the bttv module is missing some parameters about the card and tuner type.

Code:
options bttv card=x tuner=y

make a new file /etc/modules.d/bttv
and edit:
options bttv card=x tuner=y

check your card and tuner options from
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/video4linux/bttv/CARDLIST file

I had, if I remember right, card=1 and tuner=7.

Finally type update-modules.
I think bttv module should be loadable module not built in kernel.
