I just installed an HVR 1600 in a MythTV backend that already has a PVR 150 running on F10 with all updates. The first thing I discovered was that this card didn't work with the stock cx18 driver. However, downloading the tarball from linuxtv.org and installing it fixed that problem. The card now seems to work fine (some pixelation every now and then, but that might be because the CPU is too slow).
The problem I've run into now is that if I start watching TV under MythTV, the server picks the 1600's NTSC input first (I know about priorities and I'll look at that later). The picture is fine at this point - it fits the window I'm running in. If I then switch to the PVR 150 input the picture is wider than the window. The aspect ratio and adjust fill options under the menu for live tv don't affect this. I've tried restarting MythTV and reloading the drivers. The problem remains. As long as I start with the 1600 NTSC input (not sure if the same happens with the ATSC input) and then switch to the 150 input the picture is too wide on the 150. Switching back to the 1600 NTSC input gives a perfectly fine picture. Anyone seen this behaviour? Is there something I can do with the drivers or under MythTV to force the screen size to fit properly in the window I'm running in?
