Hi,
The problems described herein is very similar to the ones I
have, thus I thought I'd share my experiences.

Same here (when tuner is set to Temic).

My video-in works fine (My old Philips TVtuner from my Amiga days
is curently feeding it). I haven't tried S-VHS, as I've got
nowhere to get the signal from.

Are you sure that the tuner is a Temic? My Hauppauge card (PAL,
Text, Radio - probably a model 418) has a Philips tuner.
You have to take off the Hauppauge sticker to check - be
carefull that you don't remove the text on the stickers below.
(I'm at work now, but I remenber setting an option in the kernel
config. file to force the driver to assume a Philips tuner).
The problem is probably that the sticker on the (i.e. my) tuner
module says FM1216. I think the ones the driver is based on are the
F[IR]1216 tuners.
Does anyone have the datasheet for the FM1216. I have tried calling
the Danish Philips branch and I've tried asking at www.philips.com.
Both times I've been directed to a Danish distributor (Rosenmeier
Data A/S), who hasn't got a clue.
I've also tried contacting techsupport@hauppauge.com - NO answer.
If anyone can help me get a copy of the datasheet, I'd be happy
to update the driver.
Currently my advise to the public is: Stay away from the
Hauppauge cards with radio.
Have a nice day
Flemming
