I cannot get a good reception quality on my PCTV 300i card from Pinnacle and I need help.
I have tried using the stock kernel under debian etch (2.6.18-5-amd64) and a custom kernel both with the internal dvb/v4l and with the ones from mercurial.
The card works fine under windows, but I get glitches (boxes, green patterns, etc) every 10-30 secs with linux.
I have tried using mythtv or kaffeine.
I halso have a DVB-S card that is working fine (a B2C2 card that strangely reports a signal strength of 28% but is nevertheless working).
Signal strenght with the DVB-T card is approximately 25-30%.
A TV with DVB-S decoder or the same card under windows works perfectly, so I am excluding a signal issue.
Please help!
Simone
This is the current situation (2.6.23.14 vanilla kernel):
