This card was added to Linux kernel 2.6.15, hence it will not work out of box in Breezy. On a Fedora system that had that kernel version, video worked fine, however no audio. Major changes around Jan 2006 to the saa7134 audio driver (affecting other cards as well) that haven't been polished or applications not updated for the changes may be to blame.

Tuner detected incorrectly. Fix the problem by using commands "sudo rmmod bttv" and "sudo modprobe bttv tuner=51". To make settings permanent, add lines "alias video0 bttv" and "options bttv tuner=51" into file /etc/modprobe.d/bttv and run "update-modules" while being root (or use sudo)

Details

Pinnacle PCTV USB2

This device has been tested with italian parameters (see other documentation to find out your country number e.g italian is 38 and type e.g. italian is pal), ubuntu Dapper flight 4 and the newest kernel provided by the distro. There are some steps to follow for getting this device work:

  1. apt-get install xawtv mplayer sox
  2. Create the new file /dev/modprobe.d/tv and fill it with this text:
    • alias char-major-81 videodev alias char-major-81-0 tveeprom alias char-major-81-1 em28xx
    • options em28xx tuner=38 options tuner secam=d pal=d options tda9887 port2=0
  3. Type cat /proc/asound/cards and check if your PCTV is listed and which is its number in the list
  4. Type v4lctl setattr mute 0
    • Type sox -t ossdsp -r 48000 -b -c 2 /dev/dspx -t ossdsp /dev/dspy
      • Or
      Some tests can be done also typing:

      cat /dev/dspx > /dev/dspy

Where you have to replace dspx with the usbaudio device number that you've found in the list before and dspy is the soundcard dsp

  • device (I've tried this sox -t ossdsp -r 48000 -b -c 2 /dev/dsp1 -t ossdsp /dev/dsp and it works well)
  • Type mplayer -tv driver=v4l2:outfmt=yuy2:noaudio:immediatemode=0 tv://
