Re: Correct PAL configuration for TV card?

It may be that your system needs to know the exact card you are using.
Flyvideo certainly gets a number of mentions in the documentation
/usr/src/linux-2.4.17/Documentation/video4linux/bttv


These are the modules that I used to get kwintv going.
modprobe videodev
modprobe bttv card=37 tuner=5
modprobe i2c
modprobe tvaudio
modprobe msp3400

It looks like your card is 8 so substitute that in place of 37. Try and 
identify your tuner and substitute that. Tuner = 5 refers to Phillips.
Use "dmesg" to check how the hardware responds.
