Sorry about that, I have no idea what just happened there. This is what I
was trying to send:
Hi,
First of all, I'd like to thank all the ivtv developers for their work in
making this card work at all, it is much appreciated. Setting it up can
certainly be frustrating, but that must be nothing compared to writing the
drivers from scratch :-)
I'm hoping that someone can help with one of the last problems - making the
tuner actually receive something. Most of the rest seems to be working
fine, I can get nice clear signals from the S-video input through to the
CVBS output.
I'm using "ivtvctl -K1 -p4 -l0" to get the tuner image up, and it usually
requires fiddling with ivtvfbctl [1] as well since ivtv-fb is loaded at
boot.
The tuner image has always been mostly static, but certain frequencies do
lock to a very noisy signal. I'm in Denmark using the pal-europe-west
table, and I have verified that the channels do correspond to the right
frequencies. The signal is cable-tv, and obviously works fine on all my
other tuners (VCRs & TV). I've had the PVR-350 plugged directly into the
wall, that doesn't make any difference. It looks like the signal strength
is too low, but I haven't seen anyone mention that the PVR-350 tuner should
be much less sensitive than most other things.
I've read other threads on this list about similar problems (someone was
adding/subtracting 1 MHz, I've tried that too; someone else had a new tuner
type, and that seemed to be the problem there). I've yet to find a
solution.
If the PVR-350 tuner is really that insensitive, I will go buy an RF amp
today, but if anyone has other suggestions, it will be much appreciated.
[1]: About ivtvfbctl: "ivtvfbctl /dev/fb0 -off" doesn't seem to work, and I
assume that's what I really need to do. Randomly turning global/local alpha
on and off, and sometimes setting the alpha level to 0 eventually gives me
the tuner image without graphics on top. I'm still not sure about the
functions of that module, and if anyone has links to more information I
would be grateful. The README.ivtvfb file does contain a little bit, but it
seems to be written by someone like me - i.e. guessing most of it.
Regards,
Thomas
