Post subject:  Anyway of checking current tuner settings.

Hi, I am trying to get my tuner card working on Linux in SouthAfrica. (We use PAL-I)

Firstly is there someway (poking through /proc) to check what the tuner is
currently set too aside from check syslog or dmesg?

The tuner gets set to 38 PAL/SEACAM and no matter what I put in /etc/modules I can get the card to select tuner type 24 which according to this ref (http://www.linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.ph ... nFast_2000) should be for SouthAfrica.
If I set the tuner type it accepts it, but then it seems like it gets overridden once the cx8800 module loads.
The reason I am trying to set it is because I have bad quality picture which is also off color and static for sound. I have also tried loading module tuner with option 'pal=i'
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Winfast TV2000 XP expert
KnoppMyth R5A26
Athlon 1800

The bttv_* interface is obsolete and will go away,
please use the new, sysfs based interface instead.
