[ivtv-users] [PVR-350] : AM Radio Tuning

[Guillaume Ferry]

Thanks for your answer Hans!

Sure, this card is pure FM natively, but curiously, it can tune to AM
frequencies, with Windows XP driver, at least.
So, I'm confused : if I set an AM frequency for ivtv-radio, let's say 0.58,
will the tuner try to tune, or will it skip because it's out of FM range ?

It is desperate try though, I'll sure get another hardware to support AM :)

Best regards,
Guillaume.
