Whats ironic is that > the developers are using German made Bt848 based cards 8) I have the UK PAL version of the Hauppauge card, but I don't have the documentation to get it working. I e-mailed Brooktree a few days ago but haven't had a response yet. I guess that what needs to be done is: (1) add the METEORSFMT/METEOR_FMT_PAL ioctl. Can someone tell me what the right value to use in "bt848->iform |= x" is? x=2 or x=3? Presumably the other one is SECAM? (2) add the UK/European frequencies (easy, but I don't know if there is a standard numbering for them. We only use channel numbers 21-69 here). (3) the tuner. The tuner in my card is not recognised by the driver. It's labelled (if I pull the Hauppauge sticker off) "Front end 4062 FY5 Temic 3x8 501". 4062 seems to be the model number. I have just e-mailed Temic to ask for details, but if anyone else has them please let me know. -- Richard
