Mmh, hardware4linux detect PCTV PRO… This an PCTV Rave (Mono TV receiver and No FM receiver).

hardware4linux can’t detect the right card. It’s a TV tuner card, mono, and has no FM input at all.

Crashs OS cold when you try to change channels. Only shows static in other modes.

the radio section worked till Suse9.3, the former distributions did not recognise the FM tuner

Only the pctv rave gifs only sound after the command sudo sound, this is the script:
#!/bin/bash
modprobe -r bt878 bttv
modprobe snd_bt87x
modprobe bt878
it stays in usr/local/bin
