Re: AW: pinnacle pctv problems

Hi!

     I just jumped in on this thread.  I've been using a Pinnacle PCTV 
Pro, with a Brooktree 878, for several years with no problems at all.  I 
first used it with SuSE7.1 or 7.2 and am currently using it with 8.2, at 
the moment.  I find that motv seems to work better for me in the last 
fews distros than kwintv. 

     Some points:

1) YaST2 has an excellent setup utility for TV cards.  In the expert 
mode, you can specify the tuner that's on the card in question.

2) Was the missing channel(s) by any chance a "digital-only" channel 
that can only been tuned by a digital cable box?  

3) If you're using kwintv; as Eduard mentioned: Did you remember to 
check the "Scan whole frequency band" box in the setup "Wizard"?  This 
is usually a safer bet than specifying a particular broadcast standard 
which may, or may not, be observed by your cable provider.

                     Buena Suerte!
