Hi, I have some problems using fxtv. I'm using: FreeBSD X TV (fxtv), vers. 0.43. with the bt848.970604.tgz drivers, on FreeBSD 2.2.2-RELEASE. I start it using the following script: #!/bin/sh GEOMETRY="-geometry -0-0" SYSDEFAULTS="-inputFormat pal -cableFreqSet weurope -antennaFreqSet weurope" DEFAULTS="-tunerMode cable -defaultInput tuner -defaultChannel 10" cd $HOME/bin/FXTV exec ./fxtv $GEOMETRY $SYSDEFAULTS $DEFAULTS My card is a Hauppauge Win/TV with text and radio (BUT: it doesn't have a set of CD-in-out connectors on the PCB as most people describe. The back-plate has two RF-in connectors (TV and Radio), one audio-out 3.5mm stereo jack, one S-VHS-in mini DIN, one audio-in 3.5mm stereo jack and one video-in phono connector). I live in Denmark, so `pal' is OK, `weurope' should be OK too. The basic functionality of the card is OK, as I can get the window to show whatever I send to the video-in connector. The problem is: No matter what channel number I type in I get either static or a blue window (ch 3+4 is static, 5+6 and most of the rest is blue). I've tried to change -*FreqSet to the other possible values, and I've tried feeding the RF-in from both my cable outlet and from a small antenna. I've been trying most of the channels that my cable company published in their "how to" folder when using the cable connection, and I've tried at random when using the antenna. In all cases there's NO diffrence that I can see (yes, I did remember to set the cable/antenna selector). Am I missing something obvious, or is my tuner broken ? Have a nice day Flemming -- Flemming Jacobsen It'll probably say something like "Does not compute" or "Inoperative parameters". That's Email: fj@login.dknet.dk what it says when it doesn't know and doesn't want to admit it. -- Terry Pratchett: Wings
