BTTV doesn't tune to any channels [SOLVED]

[chrisashton84]

I have a feeling this is due to incorrect tuner settings, yet dmesg shows everything is being loaded correctly:

Code: Select all

localhost Chris # dmesg | grep bttv
bttv: driver version 0.9.16 loaded
bttv: using 8 buffers with 2080k (520 pages) each for capture

The reason I say this is if I use mplayer to show the television (mplayer doesn't detect bad stations) I can see a very very grainy/staticy picture that's most likely the local broadcast FOX station. Changing channels does not change what the screen shows. Programs such as tvtime show a blue screen / whatever they show when there's not any signal. Previously, tvtime had been stuck on one channel (but it was a valid channel) and wouldn't change the station off that though it showed the channel numbers changing.

My thinking is that either the tuner and it is changing channels, but not by the right amount / in the correct manner, or that there's something wrong with the driver causing the channel to never change in the first place (and previously it was stuck on a valid frequency, now it's stuck on an invalid frequency).

I've tried rebuilding the kernel, module, tvtime, and all of tvtime's tree. Any ideas as to what might have caused this? I believe the problems started around the same time as I started using the 2.6.18 kernel and persisted into my current 2.6.19-r1 kernel.

Well, my title was more helpful than I realized. The bttv module does not pull in the tuner module anymore for some reason. Loaded it by hand and the tv works perfectly again.
