French Television using bktr(4)?

[Benny Siegert <bsiegert_(_at_)_66h_(_dot_)_42h_(_dot_)_de>]

Hello,

I am using a Pinnacle PCTV Rave PCI television card with a bt848 chip. It 
works fine together with xawtv---at least for PAL channels.

You see, I am living in France, where most TV channels are encoded in 
SECAM. But even when I set the TV norm to SECAM and use the right channel, 
I get a very bad and distorted picture, where you basically see nothing.

After some googling, I came up with a possible explanation: In France, 
SECAM-L is used, but the SECAM norm in bktr(4) means SECAM-B/G. And 
indeed, the Windows software of a different card (a WinTV Express) allows 
me to select SECAM L, and I get a picture. Video4Linux obviously allows 
this too, from what I have seen (I haven't tried it though).

My question is: Would it be possible to add this norm to the bktr driver? 
Or does TV reception work for anyone in France with the current one?

Thanks,
