How to set this card for 4 cams in modprobe.conf?
I have tried:
1.
options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1
options bttv card=131,131,131,131 tuner=4,4,4,4 radio=0 triton1=0 vsfx=0 autoload=0

2.
options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1
options bttv card=77,77,77,77 tuner=4,4,4,4 radio=0 triton1=0 vsfx=0 autoload=0

3.
options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1
options bttv card=133,133,133,133 tuner=4,4,4,4 radio=0 triton1=0 vsfx=0 autoload=0

4.
options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1
options bttv card=51,51,51,51 tuner=4,4,4,4 radio=0 triton1=0 vsfx=0 autoload=0

..and not worked, I`ve just blue screen (input 0)

dmesg shows:

ok it`s problem with inputs:

0, 1, 2, 3, it must be set

but I `ve problem with colours, and solution by adding:
options bttv gbuffers=16 card=133,132,133,133 chroma_agc=1
is not working well, I still have black and white

I still have big distortions of images , paralel lines..
