Well, I've searched Google to little avail so I've decided to ask here.
I've currently set up a Media Centre PC in my room. Everything - even wireless LAN - works perfectly after several kernel recompilations, that is, excepting my TV card. As you may imagine, this is somewhat of a disappointment considering it is a media centre. I'm using Linux Mandrake 10.1 Community and a 2.6.1-20 kernel.
Let me clarify, when I disable auto mute on the card, I hear a static, noise sound. I recieve a good video signal. The static noise changes slightly when I change channel which leads me to believe that it may be a problem with my TV standard - in the UK, we use PAL-I (instead of NTSC). This is not a problem with muting input channels or anything on my sound card.
DMESG output follows.

Hi, I live in Brazil and have exactly the same problem than you. I have Pinnacle PCTV RETAIL BR
and use the CONECTIVA 10.
My standart, in Brazil, is PAL-M. When I set to NTSC everything works minus the image, it becames black and white, when I set to Pal-M the image stay color and fine but the sound became a static noise.
How your standart is PAL-I you can try put this line in /etc/modprobe.conf
options tuner pal=i
If works reply me, if don't reply too .....
Unfortunetly don't exists pal=m :cry:
