I've got one of those green triangular boxes with the red button on top to play with. Running Ubuntu 8.04, so the usbvision module loads when I plug in. Xawtv only shows a green screen when in TV mode, black when in composite and s-video mode. I've searched this forum for solutions, but can't really find the definitive one. Any help from fellow owners is much appreciated.

Hello,
first, you can try these:
To watch TV, several ways :
launch
xdtv -novbi -only_capt_width 320 -only_capt_height 240
launch
mplayer -tv driver=v4l2:width=320:height=240:norm=SECAM:outfmt=yuy2:channels=21-F2 tv://
S-video input, launch:
mplayer -tv driver=v4l2:width=320:height=240:norm=PAL:outfmt=yuy2:input=1 tv://
can you turn on some debug messages (modprobe usbvision video_debug=6) and give us the dmesg part of usbvision?
Regards,
Thierry
Hans, did you ever get your device working properly? I could assist if you needs some additional help.
