If your card can decode Stereo TV, and your card does NOT use one of the following chips, you will have to "peek" the right GPDATA and GPOE values to enable Stero and SAP audio. The driver already supports the DPL3518, MSP34xx, PT2254, TDA7432, TDA8425, TDA9840, TDA9850, TDA9855, TDA9873, TDA9874, TDA9875, TEA6300 and TEA6420 and does not require extra information to drive them! BtSpy Realtime Peeker: GPOE: 0xf00000 GPDATA: 0xF36FFF At the current state when I try to view the inputs with e.g. xawtv i can change the "video source" (the current option in xawtv are called Television,Composite1,SVideo,Composite3) it shows me some very distored picture but also not all four resources, so what do i have to do to get it working, please help, thank you ;) jody __________________________________________________________________ Looking for the perfect gift?
