First, my apologies to the list. Apparently running out of space on
/tmp while attempting to send a message from Netscape results in a
blank message being sent out.

It worked like a charm. Thanks for patching this so quickly!

No luck :( I've tried all combinations. Regardless of the
antenna/cable setting, I get:
- Blank video (all black) and static for audio when the input is set to
tuner.
- Blank video (all black) and no audio when the input is set to
video or S-VHS.
I'm stumped. The kernel appears to identify the card without a problem:
bktr0 <BrookTree 848> rev 17 int a irq 9 on pci0:12
Hauppauge WinCast/TV, Temic PAL tuner, dbx stereo.
I'm not adverse to debugging this at the driver level -- does anyone
have suggestions for a good starting point?
Alex
