Nick,
Some additional info: I tried capturing from the S-Video input and also didn't get a stable picture: Plugged the S-Video out of my VIA EPIA board into the TV and I got a nice, stable picture. Next, I plugged the S-Video output of the VIA EPIA into the PVR-350's input and plugged the output of the PVR into the TV. Cold-booted the box and tried to display the VIA output via the PVR on the TV: ivtvctl -p 0; dd if=/dev/video0 of=/dev/video16 bs=64k. I got a scrolling black-and-white-ish desktop on the TV. (Note that test_image=1 for the saa7127 works fine.) So, I suspect that the tuner is not the problem, but the saa7115 is (as indicated by the saa7115 status logging).
Did somebody try to capture via S-Video in on a PVR-350 rev K257 tuner type 38, Philips FM1216 ME MK3 (using PAL)? Any luck?
Regards,
Peter.

Peter,
what driver are you using; the newer cards have an saa7129 in stead of an saa7127. They need some additional registers set to get a decent picture. The latest 0.2 and development 0.3 drivers have this fixed.

Hi Nick,
Tried your trick, though without luck... ivtvctl -I --> video status BAD ptune-ui.pl to a relativly stable station (though shifted half a screen) ivtvctl -I --> video status Sat/DVD reboot
modprobe ivtv ptune-ui.pl to same station ivtvctl -I --> video status Sat/DVD The picture is still not ok: blurred, shifted half a screen vertically and too much color (red faces). Because of the colors I suspect that some part of the card is operating in the wrong standard (PAL/SECAM/NTSC).
Regards, Peter.

Found a fix quicker than I thought; don't know if it will "survive" a cold boot but hey, I got some stuff programmed to record right now so I'm happy for now :-)
try this:
ivtvctl -I should give something like BAD SIGNAL with ptune-ui.pl, tune to good station. ivtvctl -I gave in my case: Sat/Dvd reboot your box.
Hope this works for others as well.

Well I'm back to square 1... I borrowed a 350 from a friend to try some dual card setup and tuning doesn't work for me either (bummer, I had a working config...)
saa7115 reg 0x1e is 0x40 so basicly the same issue. I get this with both cards; doubt that they both are broken. Hope to get this sorted out quickly.

IMO the card initialization is flaky, but I'm not familiar with the implementation details. All I wanted to do is to confirm Gijs observations and perhaps to get in contact with other people running Suse 9.2. That might be a base to have comparable situations. Have one person running the card with tuner type 38 on Suse 9.2 might give some hope. I've read so many advices and tried so much, if it were so simple I certainly would have found the solution meanwhile.
I have two SuSE 9.2 systems with PVR-350s in them. I'm not having an issue with card initialization. Let me know what you're doing, and I can share my experiences with PVR-350s (one with tuner=38 and one with tuner=47)
Regards, Paul
