I'm having trouble setting up a Prolink Pixelview

All I manage to get is snow , I'm in Australia so it should be PAL

I added the folling to the /etc/modules.conf
Code:
alias char-major-81     bttv
options bttv tuner=5


and ran a moudles-update , then rebooted but the dmseg stills shows it as a type 2 tuner (NTSC)

any advice on what I should do ?

Code:
bttv: driver version 0.9.16 loaded
bttv: using 8 buffers with 2080k (520 pages) each for capture
bttv: Bt8xx card found (0).
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:04.0[A] -> GSI 20 (level, low) -> IRQ 20
bttv0: Bt878 (rev 17) at 0000:02:04.0, irq: 20, latency: 32, mmio: 0xe2000000
bttv0: using: Prolink Pixelview PV-BT878P+9B (PlayTV Pro rev.9B FM+NICAM) [card=72,insmod option]
bttv0: gpio: en=00000000, out=00000000 in=00ffc0ff [init]
bttv0: using tuner=2
bttv0: i2c: checking for TDA7432 @ 0x8a... not found

bttv0: i2c: checking for TDA9887 @ 0x86... not found
tuner (ivtv): chip found at addr 0xc2 i2c-bus bt878 #0 [sw]
tuner: type set to 2 (Philips NTSC (FI1236,FM1236 and compatibles)) by bt878 #0 [sw]
bttv0: registered device video0
bttv0: registered device vbi0

Card and tuner may be different. These settings work for my prolink playtv mpeg2 rev 9F. Edit ths file then run modprobe-update

File: /etc/mythtv/modules/bttv0

alias char-major-81-0 bttv
options bttv card=70 tuner=43 radio=1 bttv_gpio=1 remote=1

My PV-BT878P+(REV.9D) worked with these options:
Code:
options bttv card=70 radio=1 pll=1
options tuner type=5
However, I would highly recommend spending the $100 or so requred to get a DVICO DVB tuner card from ebay. The quality is soooooo much better.

Way back when I used that card, I had it set to card=72, and I had similar audio problems. I would get no audio for recordings and also no audio when entering live tv, but changing the channel when in live tv would get the audio going. Perhaps card=70 is not right for the revision of card that you have?
Look at the big comment at the bottom of this post for a description of what I did (although the exact means of doing it would be different for a current release - you would not edit /etc/modules.conf)
