Ah! the Philips FM1216 ME MK3. Well actually it can use nearly all the 
PAL flauvours (We have PAL-G and I had it in a Win98 box and it worked 
beautifully).
I have 1 2 and I have the same problem. I hear a lot of stories by other 
people who have trouble with it too.
May I ask, what kernel & distro are you using?

You could try and apply Chris's  'new tuners' kernel path (kernel 
recompile needed) even though Chris's README says it's not needed, URL: 
http://205.209.168.201/~ckennedy/ivtv/new_tuners/
I didn't have any succes, if you had (or hadn't) please tell me.
