I remember having a similar problem after upgrading from potato to woody,
it was something with the way things were set by default in /etc/modutils.
With my current setup (kernel 2.4.2, up-to-date woody) my WinTV card works
with
"options tuner type=2"
in /etc/modutils/tuner
and an empty
/etc/modutils/bttv
I also commented out the lines
#post-install bttv insmod tuner
#post-remove bttv insmod tuner
in /etc/modutils/actions
I'm really not much of an expert, but with the default setup that comes
with woody, no matter how often I'd specify tuner type=2 (neccesary for
a Phillips NTSC tuner), it's been ignored, or at least seemed so.
regards,
Volker
