Pinnacle RAVE TV tuning problem

[Arne Wörner]

Hi!

My Pinnacle PCTV Rave card (for the germ. market) is detected as
follows:
 kernel: bktr1: <BrookTree 878> mem 0xdfcfc000-0xdfcfcfff irq 10
   at device 9.0 on pci0
 kernel: bktr1: [GIANT-LOCKED]
 kernel: bktr1: MT2032: Companycode=4d54 Part=04 Revision=04
 kernel: bktr1: Pinnacle PCTV Rave, MT2032 tuner.

Did you try the various frequency areas (xawtv shows such a list)?

Setting a different tuner (by bypassing the auto detection) in
sysctl hw.bt848... in /boot/loader.conf might help, too. E. g.:
  hw.bt848.tuner=1

Maybe it is a new and unsupported tuner. You could ask Branko
Lankester (branko at euro.net), who made my Pinnacle card supported.

Bye
Arne
