I bought new toy for my home machine Hauppauge WinTv/PCI Model 406.
I use it with 233MHz Asus P/I-XP6NP5 PPro, 4M Matrox Millenium and
Xaccel or XFree.
 
bktr0 <BrookTree 848> rev 17 int a irq 15 on pci0:10
        mapreg[10] type=0 addr=fb800000 size=1000.
        reg16: virtual=0xf49a8000 physical=0xfb800000 size=0x1000
        using shared irq 15.
brooktree0: PCI bus latency is 32.
bktr0: buffer size 3555328, addr 0x3000000
Hauppauge WinCast/TV, Temic PAL tuner.
 
I got bt848.970604.tgz and fxtv-0.43.tgz to play with.  I use
-inputFormat pal and -antennaFreqSet weurope options in Fxtv.  System
seems to work quite fine.  I haven't seen any real problems or lockups
that someone has mentioned here.  Though I have some minor problems.

- No picture on startup size fxtv.  I have to zoom or resize window
first.  It's difficult to find working resolution when resizing
window.  Zoom button works fine but then window is too big.

- Main channels here in Finland are located as 6, 8, 24 and 52.  With
weurope setting the lowest channel is 21.  I also need channels E2-E12
and IA-IH.  These worked fine with W95 software.  Channel 52 was
problem also in there.  I can see channel 52 as channel 27 when using
CATV weurope setting.

- Picture is more mpeg-like mosaic and fuzzier in Fxtv than in W95
software.

- I get bktr0: ioctl: tsleep error 35 1000d74 messages to syslog

- Zooming doesn't work at all with Xaccel.  I get immedimmediately:
pid 486 (fxtv), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped).  I haven't
seen any picture with Xaccel.
