He'd tried before, but just got trash. Not being an experienced FreeBSDer (yet), he didn't know what the problem was and just put it aside. I noticed that the latest bt848 driver detected the tuner as a "Temic PAL" tuner, which surprised me and pointed to the culprit. I booted into MSW95 to find that it's actually a: Phillips FI1236 MK2 NTSC & PAL combo tuner. Knowing this, I defeated the detection with: # #define PHILIPS_FR1236_NTSC 9 options OVERRIDE_TUNER=9 in the kernel config file, and get him up-and-running. Having worked with the driver a bit, I had a handle on how to work around this problem, but I imagine new FreeBSD users with these new cards are more likely to just give up and think their card isn't supported. Just thought I'd post though and ask what the status was on fixing the detection for these tuners. (Is the obstacle having one of these in the hands of someone driver-savy? Lack of eeprom contents? signature? i2c?) Thanks, Randall To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
