Hi folks. I am having a curious problem after performing an upgrade to 0.10.5. Put simply, the audio works fine but I find my image is almost completely indiscernible due to profound static-like artifacts. I say "static-like" because it does not appear to be normal TV- interference (I am using a cable connection). Indeed, it appears to be caused by a configuration setting or firmware change which has given the tuner some incorrect values.
My system is equipped with two drives, and the configuration of this upgraded drive is: * Kernel: 2.6.20-gentoo-r8 * IVTV: 0.10.5 with latest firmware * Tuner Card: PVR500 It is important to note that I left my original configuration untouched on a different hard drive. It continues to work just fine, so I am certain this is a software problem. My other drive is configured thusly: * Kernel: 2.6.16-gentoo-r13 * IVTV: 0.6.4 with firmware from that era * Tuner Card: PVR500 I should mention that I am only using IVTV for this testing. Specifically, I will first attempt to tune a channel and then capture some video as shown: % ivtv-tune -c 37 -d /dev/video0 -t us-cable % cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg Clearly, we are working pretty close to the hardware in testing this way. I have tried tweaking the frequencies manually using the "-f" switch (+-0.5 MHz), but that has not improved the image at all. If I reboot the system from my original drive (the 2.6.16 kernel with 0.6.4), everything works. Also, "dmesg" reports completely normal- looking detection messages for the PVR500. Any ideas what might be causing the image distortion? Thanks! -Mike Ellis ========================= Michael F.
