By the fact that you're able to get clear audio through tuning sounds like the connection is good. Are you absoulutely sure that you have the correct broadcast standard for the UK set in your preferences (Options>TV Norm in MoTV)? You might want to try deleting the existing .xawtv and .kwintvrc files from your /home directory and using YaST (I'm also running SuSE8.0) to reconfigure your TV card (there's a provision in it to match the selected card with different types of tuners mounted on it (PAL/NTSC/SECAM). Good Luck! /mel P.S. - You mentioned that you manually configured the card. Does YaST recognize it at all, with a different name? It could be that PixelView PlayTV is a name a distributor slapped on it, and YaST is identifying it under it's true identity. Just a thought.
