+bttv.o
+ the bt848 (grabber chip) driver
+
+ insmod args:
+ card=n card type, see cardlist for a list.
+ radio=0/1 card supports radio
+ pll=0/1/2 pll settings
+ 0: don't use PLL
+ 1: 28 MHz crystal installed
+ 2: 35 MHz crystal installed
+ triton1=0/1 for Triton1 compatibility
+ Triton1 is automatically recognized
+ but this might also help with other chipsets
+ bigendian=n Set the endianness of the gfx framebuffer.
+ Default is native endian.
+ fieldnr=1 Count fields. Some TV descrambling software
+ needs this, for others it only generates
+ 50 useless IRQs/sec.
+ autoload=0/1 autoload helper modules (tuner, audio).
+ default is 1 (on).
+
+ remap, card, radio and pll accept up to four comma-separated arguments
+ (for multiple boards).
+
+msp3400.o
+ The driver for the msp34xx sound processor chips. If you have a
+ stereo card, you probably want to insmod this one.
+
+ insmod args:
+ debug=1/2 print some debug info to the syslog,
+ 2 is more verbose.
+ simple=1 Use the "short programming" method. Newer
+ msp34xx versions support this. You need this
+ for dbx stereo.
+ once=1 Don't check the TV-stations Audio mode
+ every few seconds, but only once after
+ channel switches.
+ amsound=1 Audio carrier is AM/NICAM at 6.5 Mhz. This
+ should improve things for french people, the
+ carrier autoscan seems to work with FM only...
+ mixer=n allocate mixer device #n. Default is the
+ first free slot.
+
+tea6300.o
+ The driver for the tea6300 fader chip. If you have a stereo
+ card and the msp3400.o doesn't work, you might want to try this
+ one. This chip is seen on most STB TV/FM cards (usually from
+ Gateway OEM sold surplus on auction sites).
+
+ insmod args:
+ debug=1 print some debug info to the syslog.
+
+tda8425.o
+ The driver for the tda8425 fader chip. This driver used to be
+ part of bttv.c, so if your sound used to work but does not
+ anymore, try loading this module.
+
+ insmod args:
+ debug=1 print some debug info to the syslog.
+
+tda9855.o
+ The driver for the tda9855 audio chip. Afaik, only the
+ Diamond DTV2000 has this chip.
+
+ insmod args:
+ debug=1 print some debug info to the syslog.
+
+tuner.o
+ The tuner driver. You need this unless you want to use only
+ with a camera or external tuner ...
+
+ insmod args:
+ debug=1 print some debug info to the syslog
+ type=n type of the tuner chip. n as follows:
+ 0: Temic PAL tuner
+ 1: Philips PAL_I tuner
+ 2: Philips NTSC tuner
+ 3: Philips SECAM tuner
+ 4: no tuner
+ 5: Philips PAL tuner
+ 6: Temic NTSC tuner
+ 7: Temic PAL tuner
