Just reporting my experiences, but if anyone has general troubleshooting
suggestions, what can be done to diagnose the card, etc., I'll take em.
My experience seems similar to those using 32-bit platforms with this
particular card. I'm using a Hauppauge WinTV PVR-500-MCE with the
Samsung TCPN 2121P30A chip, on a Asus A8N SLI-Deluxe mb. The OS is
Gentoo x86_64, and I hand built the 0.43 ivtv drivers including the
drivers/Kbuild modification suggested in the README. Kernel is version
is 2.6.15-gentoo-r1.
I've used mythtv (18.1-r1) and xine, but had no luck with xawtv. mythtv
and xine both yield the same results:
The first tuner has terrible video reception, but the audio reception
comes in nicely. The second tuner has great video but the audio produces
a high-pitched whine on top of the given channel's audio, which is very
muted.
Of interesting note is a discovery about the sound on the second tuner:
occasionally while changing channels, the sound will come in clear (not
reproducible for any given channel). I can sometimes cause the audio to
come in clearly by continually pressing the 'c' button in mythtv (which
I guess is meant to change from the cable input to the composite and
s-video), but since I have nothing else hooked up it just defaults back
to tuning in the cable. I don't see any extra info on the OSD when doing
this.
So far, no luck getting the radio to work...
Here's the driver output, seems normal:
