I have searched the web, and tried many different TV tuning utils on this old TV tuner card i have, but i have yet to find one that works with it.
I do not know anything about the card other than the fact that it is some Conexant card with the BT848 (brooktree) chipset, and some phillips tuner with a cable in/out, and a composite/s-video in, the composite and s-video work, so i know that either the tuner its self is bad, or the software i am using is not compatible, i tested the composite and S-video with this cheap durabrand dvd player that was laying in the living room, and, to prevent someone asking what i am sure would've been the first question, yes, the cable is connected to the cable in jack, and it is functional, cable signal is crystal clear with two TV's. i have tried several, one being ChrisTV, i do not remember the half dozen others i have tested, but, post any you can find that may work with the BT848 chipset and that can actually tune channels rather than just view the static of channel 1.
EDIT: the tuner is from '96, if it helps, i pulled it out of an old gateway, i think it was a P5-266 or something, i know it was PX-266, X being the unknown number.
