The tuner says "Pinnacle Systems" (no PHILIPS; no TEMIC)... :-(( Pinnacle says
they use a CONEXANT CN878 (but this is not the tuner; I hope this is a
BROOKTREE 878).

I tried both TEMIC_PAL and PHILIPS_PAL. And both do not work.

I think the bktr driver does not handle the [new] "chip set" of the Pinnacle
Rave as it wants to be handled...
