The basic driver already knows about it, and as for the tuner itself, I have seen no features that are programmable, either you get a board with a PAL tuner or an NTSC tuner (I think...) If you look at the tuner module page you will see what I mean: http://208.196.158.173/fi1200.html there is an issue as to the station frequencies. right now I'm just plugging in hard values (now can see all my local stations...). but they are well documented, am thinking about whether to handle them computationally or with a lookup table. --- > I am interested in getting one of these cards, and will galdly contribute > labour if required. to get this right many people will have to chip in, so that we can support all the various flavors of board/standards/etc. I'm actually more worried about the audio than the video. Evidently there are parameters for the stereo chip stored in EPROM, with no documentation of their format -- Steve Passe | powered by smp@csn.net | FreeBSD -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- Version: 2.6.2 mQCNAzHe7tEAAAEEAM274wAEEdP+grIrV6UtBt54FB5ufifFRA5ujzflrvlF8aoE 04it5BsUPFi3jJLfvOQeydbegexspPXL6kUejYt2OeptHuroIVW5+y2M2naTwqtX WVGeBP6s2q/fPPAS+g+sNZCpVBTbuinKa/C4Q6HJ++M9AyzIq5EuvO0a8Rr9AAUR tBlTdGV2ZSBQYXNzZSA8c21wQGNzbi5uZXQ+ =ds99 -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
