The MSI TV@nywhere A/D manual suggests that the FM tuner is optional. The card has a female TV (analogue + DVB-T) connector, an (optional?) male FM radio connector and a multipurpose connector (with custom adapter that has many sockets). It is possible to connect the cable to the FM radio socket and wonder why it does not display TV. [snip] > > Generally I don't look at the analogue side of things.

Using the free ati/radeon driver on a 9250 series PCI card - so I should be safe on that point.

There are three internal connectors on the MSI TV@nywhere A/D card, none of which are mentioned in the manual. There is an "audio out" connector, which was empty yesterday, but is now connected to the "optical drive audio connector" on the motherboard. There is now sound with tvtime. There is also a "CD in" connector and an unlabeled ten pin connector. > > Herman, > > > > What exactly do you want me to do?
