Testing the setup

Cable TV

Tested with Ziggo Cable Television (Location Leiden) as input which uses this frequenties. As FM Antenna I used a Old S-Video Cable.

$ sudo apt-get install tvtime scantv
$ sudo tvtime-scanner
$ sudo scantv -C /dev/vbi0 -n PAL -f europe-west -o results.ini
$ head -20 results.txt
rvdzwet@sky:~$ head -15 results.ini 
[global]
freqtab = europe-west

[defaults]
input = Television
norm = PAL

[Nederland 1]
channel = 22

[Nederland 2]
channel = 25

[Nederland 3]
channel = 26

FM Radio (The Netherlands)

$ sudo apt-get install fmtools
$ sudo fmscan

Experiences

Both tvtime and XavTV shows me perfect/clear moving images.

To setup sound I had to enable a pulseaudio loopback device as instructed at ubuntuforums.org.

Misc

Q: if feasible "eeprom" output (from bttv tools)
A: I am not sure how-to retrieve this information. The bttv tools does not seems to apply to this chipset. But just [info@rickvanderzwet.nl let me know] and I be happy to retrieve it.
