Thanks! assumming this is a standard north american purchased card, no it shouldn't. I wrote the tuner code, at the time the probe code could successfully handle the various tuners out there. evidently some things have changed internally with them which fools the probe code, others have also reported this problem. The bottom line is that the probe code needs updating for the newer tuners. I'm afraid I don't have time in the forseeable future to do it... You should be able to "hard-wire" yours to believe it has a NTSC tuner with a hack or 2 inside the probe code for now. -- Steve Passe | powered by smp@csn.net | Symmetric MultiProcessor FreeBSD
