Since I upgraded my version of IVTV via APT-GET a couple of weeks ago I
have problems with my picture (on captured movies and on Live TV).  I
get a picture with random artifacts (large blocks of strange colors).
The appear on different parts in the screens and seems to be  totally
random. It seems that I don't have the right after a reboot,  but it
appears after a day or so. Sometimes there are more artifact  and
sometime there is none.

Anybody else seen/have the same problem? Any hint to a solution?


At first, I thought my cards (a PVR-350 and PVR-250MCE) were overheating; my MythTV box is in an Antec Overture case. I replaced the stock heatsinks with
chipset fans.  The recordings were still corrupted.

What finally fixed the problem for me was reverting to an older version of ivtv. I had been running 0.3.3k, but am now running 0.2.0_rc3, which is the newest version Gentoo considers stable (more specifically, I'm using the
0.2.0_rc3-r4 ebuild).  The MPEG corruption is now gone.  Life is good.

This fix might not work if you're running a PVR-150, but I wasn't able to get
one of those working at all when I tried one this past weekend.

Teruel,
I have not tried the G button. What function is associated that button?

Scott,
I too thought that my problem was related to heat since it seems to work with other versions, but I have come the the same conclusion that my problems is related to my version of IVTV. I am running a PVR-250 and does not have to run the 0.3.x version therefor I will try do downgrade my version.

Anybody know if older versions of ivtv is available via apt-get?

/Mats
