OK, the first version of the bt848 driver with PAL support is now available at ftp://ftp.cogsci.ed.ac.uk/pub/richard/bt848.970329-rmt.tar.gz Please try it even if you're an NTSC user, to verify that it still works. Maybe someone could put a link to it on the web page. To be precise, it supports PAL-I as used in the UK and some other countries, but changes for other versions of PAL should be trivial (I don't think we know how to distinguish the various PAL tuners, but I don't know if we have to). There are still bugs. In full resolution (768x576) one field is often not updated, producing bizarre ghosting. I've also changed Steve's interface to AFC. It's now int onoff; ioctl(fd, TVTUNER_SETAFC, &onoff); ioctl(fd, TVTUNER_GETAFC, &onoff); This allows you to query whether AFC is on so that (eg) you can set a toggle to the right state, or restore the original state. Something should be added to let a program determine whether AFC was successful or not, and maybe enabling AFC should also do it immediately. Randall: fxtv will need to be able to select a channel set for each of antenna and cable modes; I'll look at this tomorrow. -- Richard
