Post subject:  Black screen Issues (when pressing watch tv)

My system is:
ASUS a7v (motherboard)
AMD Athlon 900 (cpu)
Nvidia Gforce 2 mx (video card)
STB, Gateway P/N 6000699 (bt848 tuner card aka card=3)

I've been try to get this to work for 4 days now...

My problem is when i press watch tv it show up with a black screen and i get this error in the log
Code:
bttv0: reset, reinitialize
bttv0: PLL can sleep, using XTAL (28636363).
bttv0: timeout: drop=0 irq=0/0, risc=0c31203c, bits: VSYNC HSYNC OFLOW VPRES RIS

Has anyone ever had this error before?

Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that I have tried all the Frequency sets and it didnt seem to change anything.

Also i have the right tuner and card setup as seen here:
Code:
bttv0: Bt848 (rev 18) at 0000:00:09.0, irq: 6, latency: 32, mmio: 0xd7000000
bttv0: using: STB, Gateway P/N 6000699 (bt848) [card=3,insmod option]
bttv0: gpio: en=00000000, out=00000000 in=00ffffff [init]
bttv0: using tuner=2
bttv0: i2c: checking for TDA9875 @ 0xb0... not found
bttv0: i2c: checking for TDA7432 @ 0x8a... not found

bttv0: PLL: 28636363 => 35468950 .. ok

Also is that a Via chipset on that motherboard? See the "Hardware to Avoid" sticky for some info related to DMA problems there.

Post subject:  ... weird

Ok... I got it (kinda) working... but it was a weird way to do it.

I remember i used to be able to get at least static with green (before I knew how to edit the to edit the tuner settings in the modules.conf file)

then i just remembered that I changed out the LAN card cause the old one couldnt connect to the internet (for some reason) so I was sitting here thinking, "maybe I should try swapping it back out" so I replaced the new one back with the old one.

What do you know, the error went away and I can watch some tv but some channels are missing cause now I cant download from zap2it, to download the channel list.

I dunno its justs weird.

Im gonna try a few more things but if you can think of a way maybe that my old LAN card can work please let me know (its a Linksys LNE100TX).

Don't know enough about the settings required for the BTTV drivers but it sounds like the change in LAN card is disrupting one of your "bus addresses", i.e. - the PCI address, the port assignments, the interupts, the DMA range, ... If any of those are coded into the BTTV config files you may need to adjust them.
