Cannot determine card make. This may cause poor performance IMS TV Turbo, Philips FR1236 NTSC FM tuner. even the tweeking sysctl -w hw.bt848.tuner=10 manages to produce nothing but a blank screen. I run fxtv with these options. fxtv -antennaFreqSet weurope -inputFormat pal altering Format to Pal/M produces interference but I haven't been able to watch TV yet :-) I'm thinking of throwing the card away and buying a more expensive one, do you think it's worth trying any other last minute options? pat To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
