You mean the Philips FI1216 tuner, right?

When you use current CVS, then you need to:

=09$ insmod rivatv.o card=3D48 tvbox=3D1

See the CARDLIST file for the correct number.  The tvbox parameter is
required for setting up the FI1216 PAL tuner.

This should read different then.  Does it?

Also: The tuner should be set then.  Does it?

Thank you very much for sending in this report!  Now we know about the
"BreakoutBox".  It looks like there is an Philips FI1216 tuner inside and
a TDA9873 audio chip.

Your syslog looks basically good.

With the above command line you may bet an additional video source beside
Composite and S-Video: TV-Box!

Please tell us your results...

Hope this helps,
