I use either v4l2-ctl or ivtv-tune $ ivtv-tune -d /dev/video0 -t us-bcast -c 3 /dev/video0: 61.250 MHz $ v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 -f 61.250 Frequency set to 980 (61.250000 MHz) Regards, Andy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
