I've been digging around trying to figure this out and I noticed this on the IVTV how-to:
"The PVR-150/PVR500 needs the following modules - Conexant CX2584x audio/video decoders *(CONFIG_VIDEO_CX25840)* - Wolfson Microelectronics WM8775 *(CONFIG_VIDEO_WM8775)* - BT848 Video For Linux *(CONFIG_VIDEO_BT848)"* I have the first 2 modules loaded but I cannot find the BT848 module when I lsmod. When I try using modprobe, it says it can't find the module. Could this be causing some of my problems? Also, I'd like to try upgrading my kernel (from 2.6.17 to 2.6.17) and driver version (from .7 to whatever I need... I think the how-to says .10, but others have said .8.2) as was suggested. Does anyone know of a good tutorial for this? I'm using Ubuntu, so I don't know if there's maybe one out there specifically for this distro that a not-to-technically-inclined user like myself might be able to use. Thanks, Dave On 2/13/07, J.

I'm having problems getting my PVR-500 to work properly. The images are terrible. I've tried testing it using MythTV as well as using "cat /dev/video0 > /tmp/card0.mpg" and "cat /dev/video1 > /tmp/card1.mpg" and they both look horrible either way. I know for a fact I have the version with the Samsung tuner, so part of the problem could be that. The output videos can be found here: http://www.psuae.org/card0.mpg http://www.psuae.org/card1.mpg The sound seems to work alright, and I can hear what is being said, but it is also a little fuzzy. I'm not very familiar with Linux troubleshooting, but I'm willing to get my hands dirty and would definitely appreciate some ideas as to where to start looking to solve this. Just for reference, I'm running Ubuntu Edgy (2.6.17 kernel) with MythTV 0.20 and IVTV drivers from the repositories (0.7). My CPU is an x86 AMD 3200+, and I have an old ATI Rage card in there with ATI's proprietary drivers. Any tips on where I might look for error messages, and what specifically I might look for, would be greatly appreciated. Here is the output from DMESG for the IVTV section: http://psuae.org/dmesg.txt
