My Pinnacle (card=39) shows NTSC for the video mode:
"tuner 2-0061: type set to 2 (Philips NTSC (FI1236,FM1236 and compatibles)"
Your line shows "PAL+SECAM" which probably is causing the...
"Fatal Error: PLL's didn't lock."
Although the PLL can be set with ismod options PLL=1 or PLL=2.

Your Pinnacle manual will probably state that its only PAL+SECAM and
not NTSC, so it won't work in NA.
