    Having been given Radio/TV card and finding it is working, I have had no
    success so far installing it in my Debian m/c running Sid,currently
    uptodate.

    The card is a Prolink Pixelview Play TV Pak modelPV-Bt878P+ Rev4E
    From the cardlist No.50 an exact match
    The tuner is an LG TPI8PSB02P Cardlist No.28

    Inserting the bttv module using parameters indicated in the bttv
    Documentation - card=50 tuner=28 radio=1 pll=0 -.

    modconf produces
    ---------
    Installing module bttv. If the device isn't there, or isn't configured
    correctly, this could cause your system to pause for up to a minute.

    ---------------------
    Prior to running modconf there was no tuner module installed

    After running modconf.

    So insmod failed but the modules were inserted anyway?
    Something seems broken or badly bent.

    -------------------
    In any event neither the 'radio' app. from xawtv or 'gradio', GtK app can
    detect transmissions. xawtv can only see noise.

    The card works fine on radio on win98 temporarily installed on another
    partition on the same drive. Tv only shows noise there also tho' I have not
    tried to tweak anything there . Not really interested enough.

    If anyone is sucessfully using this card on Debian I would be very grateful
    to hear from them.
