I'm running Ubuntu 7.10 Desktop Amd 64 Version. Everything is working well. I'm not using MythTv. I'm using ivtv-tune to change channels. VLC (Capture Device set at PVR to watch a show directly), or cat /dev/video0 > whatever.mpeg principle with a shell script written for recording. http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Example_script_to_schedule_recordings
I'm thinking of writing some setup directions for 1st time Ubuntu Users. You've done a great job with the HVR-1600. I'm using the cx18-7775f4ee7217 version, and it compiled beautifully, and installed with no problems. Thank you!!!!!. Installed via instructions on this page: http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Cx18 They weren't specific, yet placing them in the /lib/firmware directory was appropriate for Ubuntu. The only this else I performed was: # modprobe -r cx18 # modprobe cx18 debug=32 It seemed to help the firmwareload better? lspci -v: Output 02:01.0 Multimedia video controller: Conexant CX23418 Single-Chip MPEG-2 Encoder with Integrated Analog Video/Broadcast Audio Decoder Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc.
