I get exact same problem if I load drivers without NTSC patch, make sure the patched drivers are loaded instead of non-patched. On my system I've built kernel and DVB drivers as modules. After system starts I unload kernel drivers and load patched dvb-kernel drivers from CVS. (dvb-kernel/build-2.6/insmod.sh unload; dvb-kernel/build-2.6/insmod.sh load) Check with "lsmod" to make sure all DVB drivers unloaded after "insmod.sh unload", if something is not unloaded, add it to the script for unloading. > -----Original Message----- > From: vdr-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vdr-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf > Of Andrey Vlassov > Sent: Tuesday, March 29, 2005 11:30 AM > To: vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Update for NTSC problem > > Hi, > > I have described my problem with NTSC output for North America in my > previous post.
