I'm in the US so I use NTSC and have Comcast cable (regular).

Originally, all of my channels were off by one and the colors were all black and white. In xawtv, I was able to manually finetune them all to +15 to restore the color, but they were still off by one. CNN appeared on 27, when it should have been on 26, etc. To correct this, I found the following URL at Freevo's website:
http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/doc/Hardware/bttv
First, I tested what they suggested by doing the following:
Code:
rmmod bttv
rmmod tuner
modprobe bttv tuner=2
xawtv


Once I confirmed that the colors and channels worked correctly, I edited my /etc/mythtv/modules/bttv file, adding the following:
Code:
modprobe bttv card=64 tuner=2


That was it! MythTV has worked great since then

err, I think you said "modprobe" but meant "options" in the /etc/mythtv/modules/bttv file...

Hi, I just added an old ATI TV Wonder VE card to my system running 2 PVR-250s and had to tweak it to get the bttv bt878 card to work.

To find out which /etv/mythtv/modules/bttv? file was being used type

#modprobe -c | grep "bttv"

and look for "include". In my case it is /etc/mythtv/modules/bttv2

I added the line

options bttv card=64 tuner=2

and it works fine. Verify it is showing up correctly configured by doing

dmesg | grep "bttv" | less

One neat thing I noticed is that the ATI TV Wonder VE now supports 720x480 captures whereas before I think it was limited to a maximum resolution of 640x480 captures.

The tuner works perfectly now under R5A16 and I used it to capture "the 4400" last night. It produced the BEST video I have ever seen come from that card!

Cool!
