xawtv user error? or bt8xx module option line needed?
This bttv card is designed for security cam use, but I would think a
coax tv signal could be fed to it. Am I wrong?
I have a provideo pv149 4chip bt8xx card with 3 security cams visible on
xawtv. The 4th feed is from a dishnet satelite tv dvr. I've plugged
the coax into a tv and the signal is there I'm just not getting it tuned
in on my debian squeeze amd64x2 box. Modules loaded
bttv
i2c-algo-bit
i2c-core
tuner
tvaudio
I am getting a blue screen.
I added a bttv.conf file to /etc/modprobed dir with "options bttv
card=98,98,98,98 tuner=2,2,2,2 pll=1,1,1,1" . This was probably from a
post on this mailing list. Thanks, that helped with the security cams.
But maybe that is messing with the dishnet tv signal?
Command line that works for sec cams
xawtv -nodga -fb -c /dev/video[0123] # it doesn't work for
video0 where the dishnet feed is plugged in
Have tried without the -fb as the dishnet signal may not qualify as a
framebuffer signal.

video source Television this works for my sec cams
freq table us-* not sure which to pick here
