Hey everyone, I sent this to the IVTV mailing list as well, but I thought this might be a good reference here on the mythtv users list.
After 3 months of troubleshooting my PVR-500 MCE D492, I have finally been able to receive a signal (great video, great sound)! Before, I had the frequently brought up problem of static that would fade to a black or dark red on both turners. I finally found my answer here: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/ivtv/devel/20065#20584 First off - Chris said to try not using a driver after 0.3.2t for the PVR-500 MCE... so, I'm using .0.3.2s. Edit the driver/cx25840-driver.c file and change the line (L66 for me): static int no_black_magic = 0; to static int no_black_magic = 1; Then, save and recompile. For some reason, just having this in the modules.conf file wasn't enough. Here's my settings for that (I also have 2 PVR-250s): alias char-major-81 videodev alias char-major-81-0 ivtv alias char-major-81-1 ivtv alias char-major-81-2 ivtv alias char-major-81-3 ivtv options cx25840 no_black_magic=1 options ivtv ivtv_debug=1 tuner=8,8,57,57 And, that's basically all she wrote! I really hope this helps some people out because I couldn't figure it out without the help of Mike Benoit. Thanks!
