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. > I'm stumped. The kernel appears to identify the card without a problem: > > bktr0 rev 17 int a irq 9 on pci0:12 > Hauppauge WinCast/TV, Temic PAL tuner, dbx stereo. 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 -- Flemming Jacobsen It'll probably say something like "Does not compute" or "Inoperative parameters".
