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.
