Hi I did a little research on this
European catv tuners have 125 channels use pal with 8mhz allocated per
analog channel however it doesn't seem to be quite so easy this is because
it is not in one continuous band channel 2 is around 48 mhz, channel 14 is
equivilent to channel 21 broadcast a right royal pain in the ... I think
there are historical reasons why it is this way.
however in the range of freqencys which coincide with the uhf broadcast band
are 6 channels which the standard uk tuner settings should pickup or
alternatively connecting a vcr via ariel should be enough to get at least
one valid channel on the standard uk config
but so far no luck
on the plus side i have been able to conect a vcr to the composite input and
watch using $mplayer /dev/avcap0
I also found this
http://v4l2spec.bytesex.org/spec/c4340.htm
which discusses the api for video4linux video driver requirements
if the avcap0 driver could comply with this a lot of applications would be
able to interact with it.
opening up the videoh for myth tv usage probably :)
regards
john
