Niklas Johannes Saers:
|Hi. I'm using fxtv 0.47 with FreeBSD 3.0-BETA, and I was wondering...
|
|I've got a miro pctv-board and in windows I can finetune channels to get
|it just right. With fxtv,however, I can't seem to find such a
|function. Is it available or is it hard to implement? You see, with fxtv
|I can only get about half of the channels I can reach in right, whereas
|with the finetuning I can get 'em all. Usuallywhen I change to a channel
|which needs finetuning I can see a glimpse or so of the channel while
|it's changing channels, but then it's gone and all I can get is the
|sound. No picture at all. Any ideas? Thanks for you rhepl :)
There isn't a progressive fine tuning function right now (e.g. up/down .01
MHz). However, if the frequencies your channels exist on are fairly
consistent (don't fluctuate oddly due to weather/conditions), you can set
the frequencies explicitly using a syntax like this (see channel PBS):
Fxtv.antennaStationList: NBC(3) PBS(f716.69)
Wouldn't be hard to implement a progressive find tuning I don't think,
except (it's been a while) but I'm not sure whether if you set a channel on
the bktr driver via channel number whether you can turn around and query
the frequency (the channel<->frequency mappings are in the driver).
However, before you go to the trouble to find out what frequencies you
need, you might double-check that there isn't a channel set
already defined in the driver that maps to what you need.
These are set via the:
Fxtv.antennaFreqSet: nabcst
Fxtv.cableFreqSet: cableirc
resources. Have you tried irccable, hrccable, and weurope?
Shot in the dark, but they might be what you need.
