I believe there is a description of this in the FAQ or the howto.

(I think there is a problem with tuner autodectection)

I don't know how I missed this. It was in the FAQ. Thanks very much for
pointing it out to me.

Cheers,

Scott

I looked through the FAQ again and double checked my tuner type. It is
correct as far as I can tell. The card has FI1236 on the silver box.
Looking through /usr/src/linux/Documentation/video4linux/bttv/CARDLIST
I found:
type=2 - Philips NTSC (FI1236 and compatibles)
in the tuner section. I have:
# bttv
alias char-major-81-0 bttv
options bttv card=2
options tuner type=2

Do you see something I'm missing?

Cheers,

Scott

Hi,

Just wanted to add some additional notes. I've been playing with this
most of tonight, fixing some sound issues and this problem.

1. xawtv is not off by one
2. I'm getting bleed from other channel as well, a small amount but
noticable.

Cheers,

Scott

Just for this lists record, someone on IRC from #mythtv told me what the
problem was. I had selected canada-cable (because I am in canada) for
the freq. apparently you shouldn't do that.
