 |  I'm trying to use Miromedia's PC/TV on with the latest bt848 driver
 |that is from the same site than the fxtv application. For simplicity

 |Anyone have ideas what to try?

Though I think the bt848 supports it, fxtv/the driver don't support auto
tuner signal input format detection.  You can specify the signal format and
frequency standards to fxtv though.

For testing, use command-line options ("-help" shows them all), and once
you get what you want, put these in the Fxtv resource file.  E.g. for
starters:

      fxtv -inputFormat pal -antennaFreqSet weurope -tunerMode antenna 

Hope this helps.
