Pinnacle PCTV Pro - snow at the top of the screen

Hello,

I'm having trouble getting my Pinnacle PCTV Pro to work, which I
bought in the Netherlands (europe) a few (2?) years ago.

After loading bttv I only get snow on the top of the screen..
everything below that seems to be frozen in a certain state.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Various system output:

Custom compiled kernel, no patches 2.6.13.4
(Ubuntu Breezy's kernel didn't work out of the box either)

lspci -v:

0000:00:0b.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878
Video Capture (rev 11)
        Subsystem: Pinnacle Systems Inc. PCTV pro (TV + FM stereo receiver)
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 5
        Memory at cddfe000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=4K]
        Capabilities: [44] Vital Product Data
        Capabilities: [4c] Power Management version 2

Chips on the Card:

Conexant Fusion 878a
Micronas MSP 3410G B11
Philips TDA 9886TS
?? Microtune MT 2032 ??

Model: EMPTYV-51013170-1.4

The above info matches everything on my board, as far as I can tell.
Got this from a site. Couldn't see anything on my board about the MT
2032 however.

One thing that seems to be wrong is this: "tuner 0-0060: MT2032 Fatal
Error: PLLs didn't lock.", but googling on it doesn't provide any
useful info.
