[Hoary] Watching TV ?

[David Foster]

I was having fits with my tv card (wintv go) untill I installed it in
a Suse machine and yast2 has a selector to pick the tuner. After
expermentingn around a bit I have all the cable channels but 9-12, oh
well.

-----from /etc/modules -------
bttv tuner=27

-- dmsg  ------   sudo cat /var/log/dmesg |grep bttv -------
