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.

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
