well i put that into my modprobe.conf and i got errros and then i uncommented the i2c stuff and now matter what I did I would always get /dev/video0 doesnt exist. So i removed all of it and reloaded the module...still /dev/video0 doesnt exist. Its not even showing up now...argh

Peter,<br> I not to keen on putting stuff in modprobe so would this fly? (i got it from the kernel docs)<br><br># i2c<br>alias char-major-89 i2c-dev<br>options i2c-core i2c_debug=1<br>options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1

You want NTSC and US-CABLE. If you can't get any stations at all its<br>most likely that the tuner option is not set. It is probably type 2.<br>Check your logs, it's probably screaming about no tuner set. Your going<br>to need a line like "options tuner type=2" in your modprobe file. Look
<br>in the kernel docs on the bttv module for specifics but if memory<br>serves, that is exactly the line you need.<br><br>Frank Kumro wrote:<br><br>> Well i got it working...turns out the it wasnt compiled (sry guys i
