Still no luck.

I have added this line into /etc/modprobe.d/options
options bttv card=77 tuner=4 radio=0 triton1=0 vsfx=0 autoload=0 pll=1

No picture. But only blue picture in xawtv / tvtime. In ZM I get darkness without timestamp.

When switching between video sources in tvtime, terminal tells this:
videoinput: Can't get tuner info: Invalid Argument.

with card=77 option in the modprobe
dmesg | grep bttv

I have disabled ACPI in bios.
