I have a 300i and tried to make it work with a couple kernels giving these results: Kernel 2.6.12.5 - The card is correctly detected and works, but after 10 seconds of viewing starts giving i2c errors and the image stops. I have tried to upgrade the firmware but the card already comes with 1.11, which seems to be the latest (correct me if I'm wrong). I reflashed anyway but the card keeps getting i2c errors. Kernels greater than 2.6.13 - The card is correctly detected, but seems like it can't tune any channel, the only message is mt352_pinnacle_init Kernel 2.6.15_rc? - The module loads, but the tuner isn't detected. So far, the card is working currently with 2.6.12.5, in analog mode with MythTV. Is there any chance of get it working with DVB-T? I've just seen that 2.6.14.4 is out with these patch: commit 18a35f4b97554e5eb4b54a5a061c46514393b18f Author: Ricardo Cerqueira <v4l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Dec 8 21:18:47 2005 -0200 [PATCH] V4L/DVB (3135) Fix tuner init for Pinnacle PCTV Stereo - The Pinnacle PCTV Stereo needs tda9887 port2 set to 1 - Without this patch, mt20xx tuner is not detected and the board doesn't tune. Signed-off-by: Ricardo Cerqueira <v4l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxx> Seems like the same problem that I'm having with 2.6.15_rc, so going to test right now. Thank you very much for your help.
