'Pinnacle PCTV Plus' configuration success
by Abhir Joshi 21 Mar '03

21 Mar '03

I have been (finally) successful in configuring the 'Pinnacle PCTV Plus' TV tuner card. I compiled kernel 2.4.20 and then upgraded bttv driver to 0.7.106. The tuner of this card, mt2032, is now perfectly detected. The picture quality is much better than Pixelview card. -- Abhir Joshi http://education.vsnl.com/abhir/
