When I had originally installed it (With quite a few problems) I'd managed to find a web page (Which I can't find any longer sadly, it was quite good) that detailed the setup & included in the config the tda9887 module. Which my card appears to require (I still haven't found an explanation why, but I'll keep looking). I put that in my /etc/modules.conf file (Late at night) & it ran fine for a month... You can see what's going to happen here can't you... When I put my new SATA drive in I decided to use LVM2... And I ran update-modules because I needed dm_mod loaded (Late at night again... Maybe I should drink more caffeine)... Then didn't look at the PVR for a couple of days... Finding out how to get it all to load correctly seems to be a bit of a black art... I found another reference in the mythtv setup troubleshooting... Same problem with a slightly different tuner type. It needs tda9887... Once I'd done that, hey presto! Picture. Anyway... Hopefully someone else will benefit from my posting the solution. Oh. Here's my /etc/modules.d/ivtv file just in case anyone else requires it in the future. ************************************* # cat /etc/modules.d/ivtv alias char-major-81 videodev alias char-major-81-0 ivtv options ivtv ivtv_debug=1 ivtv_std=2 tda9887=0 # Insert a suitable tuner type here! options tuner type=45 options msp3400 once=1 simple=1 options saa7127 pal=1 add below ivtv msp3400 saa7115 saa7127 tuner tda9887 # ************************************** Hamish. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFCfIss/3QXwQQkZYwRAvfwAJ4g9higVeeR9KXbDaSqa2j4LWMwUgCgsD9X HZDtY/kMQoZN/jXuxNItD1Y= =IBUO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: NEC IT Guy Games.
