Hi,

I have a Hauppauge WinTV PCI FM card that worked fine a month or so
ago when I last watched TV.
Now I can't pick up a single station, even though the aerial has a
strong signal. I have not seriously changed any major software
component (MAYBE I updated the kernel since then, MAYBE devfs - but
everything has the same options and basic configuration)


Replication:
- Unplug antenna cable from TV (sitting next to computer, all channels
stong reception)
- Plug antenna cable into TV-in antenna socket on WinTV PCI FM
- Check bttv etc modules loaded (see dmesg output below)
- Run xawtv: set to
- PAL (for UK)
- europe-west
- Television input

====> RESULT: static on all channels when attempting to tune.

scantv finds "no station" on all channels. tvtime also finds no
stations.

So I thought: maybe the card or tuner settings are wrong?
bttv autodetect:
card=10 - Hauppauge (bt878)
type=5 - Philips PAL_BG (FI1216 and compatibles)
(this info from /usr/src/linux/Documentation/video4linux/bttv/CARDLIST)

Maybe tuner setting is wrong?
=> autodetect sets to type=5, or FI1216 according to
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/video4linux/bttv/CARDLIST
=> in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/video4linux/bttv/Tuners it says
FI12x6: Tuner Series
...
1216: PAL BG
But my card has an FM Tuner, and I live in the UK, so maybe it should
be:
FM12x6: Tuner + FM
1246: PAL I (I think this is the PAL type in UK)
So I tried setting the tuner type=1, but this made no difference.
Maybe I still need to play a bit with the other tuner settings?

If ANYBODY has ANY ideas I would love to hear them.
Thanks,
Dan
