I have an odd (apparently) PX-TV402U problem with my MythTV box(es). When I try to record or to watch Live TV, I get a green screen with static at the top 1/2 inch or so of the screen. I do get sound.
This is the same with all inputs (composite, S-Video, Tuner). The test application (gorecord) that Plextor supplies runs properly - so I do not believe that it is a driver issue. I am running MythTV v 0.18.1, which has direct support for the device. I currently have 2 MythTV boxes - my main one (P4/3Ghz) - currently using a Hauppauge 250 - which works, and a test box (AthlonXP 2700+). It also works when I put in the Hauppauge 250. Neither work with the Plextor unit (same static/green screen). I returned the original PX-TV402U for another unit. I get the same result. So, 2 Plextor devices, 2 computers, same problem. If I put both units in a system, the 250 works while the Plextor gives me the static/green screen. Both computers are running Gentoo. I am currently using (gentoo-sources) kernel 2.6.11-r9, though I have tried 2.6.7-r3, and 2.6.11-r8 as well. I am using the 2005.0 layout. Has anyone any suggestions? In looking around in the Gentoo forums, and looking through this list, it seems that there are others using the PX-TV402U, but I seem to be the only one having problems... I have been running my (main) MythTV box for about 1 year, and really like it. I have been using Gentoo for about the same amount of time, and after an initial learning curve (including a hardware problem), find it very nice. Thanks -- Eric C.
