Hi,

I think I did have the same problem: the tuner do not "lock".

You want to have the "FE_HAS_LOCK" bit on in the frontend status.

The solution is to pass the option "audioall=3" to the bttv module.
"modprobe bttv audioall=3" or "insmod bttv audioall=3" or adding the
line "options bttv audioall=3" in /etc/modules.conf will do it.

Do not ask me why! If you want to learn more have a look at
http://btwincap.sourceforge.net/index.html
(audioall=1 will also work fine but btspy is showing a 3)

Good luck.
