I've having trouble getting ivtv to recognize and use the tuner on my card. This card works in Windows and is good. Here's the info.

There is no 'tuner' line in there like I'd expect. I cannot get the card to have a signal or show a picture from the tuner card. Trying to change the input to the tuner makes no difference. I've tried upgrading to Ubuntu 7.04 for the in-kernel support of ivtv with no luck. Modprobe.conf changes also seem to make little difference. Any help you can give about how I might coerce ivtv into seeing the tuner would be most appreciated. After sitting at this particular roadblock for the last week, I'm just about ready to throw in the towel and load up Windows! Hopefully it won't come to that. =) Thanks in advance for all your help! -Keller _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
