[mythtv] Colors too mellow and no sound

[Dan M]

Tim, I have the american version of the card (PV-BT878P+  Rev 8E).  What
card= and tuner= are you using?  I've been fighting with this POS card
for several hours and see some of the same problems you see.

Here's the config I'm using for modprobe:
# bttv
alias char-major-81     videodev
alias char-major-81-0   bttv
options bttv            card=37 radio=1
options tuner           tuner=2

With this config, I can get an ok TV Signal and Sound through xawtv, but
get a high pitch whine I haven't dug into yet.

Hope this helps!
