Put the following in your /etc/modprobe.conf and then run 'depmod -ae' alias char-major-81 bttv options bttv card=56 tuner=1 pll=1 radio=1 NOTE: I have a FlyVideo 98FM (card=56) with PAL-I (tuner=1). You will need to change to suit your card. http://www.ibiblio.org/peanut/Kernel-2.6.6/video4linux/CARDLIST.bttv http://www.ibiblio.org/peanut/Kernel-2.6.6/video4linux/CARDLIST.tuner Load the module with 'modprobe bttv' and you are off. -- Greg
