I am building a PVR with a Hauppauge PVR-350, Mandrake 10.1, Maiku's guide (http://www.byopvr.com/Sections+index-req-viewarticle-artid-13-page-1.html).
Everything is installed/compiled and configured, but when I try to watch TV or record something, all I ever get is static (even using the cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg). Every channel is the same...just static. Watching videos (from other sources) play just fine in both mplayer and mythtv. I've checked, rechecked, and triple checked all of the settings in mythtvsetup. Nothing changes anything. Instead of adding stuff to modules.conf, I followed the guide and added the following to the /usr/local/bin/start-ivtv script: /sbin/modprobe i2c-core /sbin/modprobe i2c-algo-bit /sbin/modprobe tuner type=47 /sbin/modprobe msp3400 /sbin/modprobe videodev /sbin/modprobe saa7115 /sbin/modprobe ivtv /sbin/modprobe lirc_i2c /usr/local/sbin/lircd -d /dev/lirc0 --permission=666 /etc/init.d/mythbackend start ivtv info from /var/log/messages: Apr 2 12:10:00 localhost kernel: ivtv: ==================== START INIT IVTV ==================== Apr 2 12:10:00 localhost kernel: ivtv: version 0.2.0 (rc3a) loading Apr 2 12:10:00 localhost kernel: ivtv: Linux version: 2.6.8.1-12mdk 686 gcc-3.4 Apr 2 12:10:00 localhost kernel: ivtv: In case of problems please include the debug info Apr 2 12:10:00 localhost kernel: ivtv: between the START INIT IVTV and END INIT IVTV lines when Apr 2 12:10:00 localhost kernel: ivtv: mailing the ivtv-devel mailinglist.

Formated and reinstalled with the new motherboard, but have never had any luck getting the tv to work. Cable does work (checked it with a tv). Getting frustrated as I had this working; I'm out of ideas of what to check. Checked this mailing list for similiar problems, but nothing mentioned in any of them seem to fix my problems. I actually don't see any problems in any logs/files, which makes fixing this that much harder. Any help would be appriciated. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
