I don't know why I'm not getting any attention on this one.  Seems like
the thing people jump on.  I think I sent it from the wrong account and
it got filtered, so forgive me if this is a double post.

The second tuner on my PVR-500 is not working.

I am using KnoppMyth R5A26.  I manually loaded the firmware following http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Firmware  But, I still get the same results.

I'm concerned that I might have what many are calling a "half dead PVR-500".  How can I verify this with a Windows machine?

Logs can be found here: http://bronosky.com/pub/sess.txt  Let me know if
anything is missing.


First, remove this from modprobe :

#options ivtv debug=1
#options tuner type=2
options msp3400 simple=1
install ivtv /sbin/modprobe tuner; /sbin/modprobe msp3400; /sbin/modprobe saa7115;  /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install  ivtv
remove ivtv /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove ivtv && /sbin/modprobe -r saa7115 && /sbin/modprobe -r msp3400 && /sbin/modprobe -r tuner

None of this is needed and might be detrimental.  Next, you'll probably want to upgrade to the 0.4.2 release.

The way you ran i2cdetect was not useful in your logs.  You might have a bad second tuner (the cx25840 is looking at 0x44).  I think the correct syntax to probe your second tuner would be :

/usr/local/sbin/i2cdetect -y -a 3
