I got it working with vanilla 2.6.10 kernel + latest snapshot of video4linux from http://linux.bytesex.org/v4l2/cx88.html. Also it works with 2.6.13.x. How I get it work:

1. First: You have to

modprobe cx88xx card=27 tuner=38 i2c_scan=1

In my case the tuner is Philips PAL/SECAM multi (FM1216ME MK3)

I found that i2c_scan=1 detects corectly my radio chip, so You'll maybe need it to get radio work.

2. Second: You have to

modprobe cx8800

3. Third: Start Tvtime or other Tv-watching program and adjust the hue/saturation high (over 78 in tvtime) to get good collors.

That's all :)

mplayer show me : Selected input hasn't got a tuner!

xawtv detect it as :

/dev/video0: OK [ -device /dev/video0 ]
type : v4l2
name : PixelView PlayTV Ultra Pro (Ste
flags: overlay capture tuner

but without picture


I can watch with tvtime only with bad colours.
