Leadtek TV2000 Deluxe picture not good in linux

[petrjanda]

While in Windows the picture was almost perfect, in Linux, using tvtime, the picture is not even half good it was in windows. It looks like a badly recorded video casette. Basically the picture is not smooth, but has kinda visible horizontal lines every millimiter. The system here is PAL, i tried different types of deinterlace methods and framerate but it doesn't help. The picture improves when I switch to B/W.

I'm having the same issue using tvtime and the Leadtek Winfast TV2000 Deluxe, so do not worry you are not alone. The only difference is that I'm on NTSC. If I find the solution I will let you know.

Thanx.. it's gotta be something with either tvtime or the bttv driver. I'll try another tv app. I found out, in FreeBSD the picture is almost as good as in windows.

The problem with this is that if you just compile the driver directly into the kernel, it will set the card up incorrectly. This is with kernel-2.6.10-r6

This is what I had to do. First I made sure that these items were compiled into the kernel.
