Keith,
With the help of Tyler, I figured out what my problem was. Before installing this card, I had a "WinTV Go" card installed, and in order to use that I compiled a tuner directly into the kernel. I wasn't aware that the new tuners would conflict with the old tuners, so I never thought to remove it.Once that was removed everything worked perfectly. As for the "extra" directory, I have no idea. When I ran a "make install" that's where everything went. I never thought it was odd until you said something about it, but after checking through the makefiles I guess your right. I found no reference to an 'extra' directory. I'm assuming that the version of 'install' must create that under certain conditions.
Thanks for the response,
  - Robert Casey

Hey all,
I've seen many postings with problems similar to mine, but the solutions never seemed to work for me. I'm running Debian Testing with kernel 2.6.8 on an AMD Athlon XP3000. I am unable to get any sort of signal (other than static) out of my card. When loading the ivtv module I get the messages "ivtv0: Unreasonably low latency timer, setting to 64 (was 32)", and "tuner type not set" (full IVTV dmesg listing below). I've tried tweaking all sorts of setting under /etc/modutils/ivtv but the results are always the same. I thought maybe all I needed to do was `modprobe tuner` (I made sure that /lib/modules/2.6.8/extra/tuner.ko was the only tuner module) but that caused a segfault. I've been working on this for a few days now, and have come up with nothing -- any ideas?


Well, the short answer is that modprobing tuner shouldn't cause a segfault. Why the "extra" directory? I thought ivtv always installed into an "ivtv" directory? Some Debian thing?

ivtv0: i2c attach to card #0 ok [client=tda9887, addr=43]
tveeprom: Ignoring new-style parameters in presence of obsolete ones
tveeprom: Second (radio) tuner idx 101
tveeprom: ivtv version
tveeprom: Hauppauge: model = 23552, rev = D592, serial# = 8221235
tveeprom: tuner = Philips FQ1236A MK4 (idx = 92, type = 57)


tveeprom figures out your card and tuner just fine.

tuner: tuner type not set


But tuner module doesn't like it.
