[mythtv-users] cant watch LiveTV

Dhiraj Kamble Sat, 25 Jun 2005 02:16:01 -0700

i have a pvr-350 installed, and i can watch mythtv on my TV.

i am unable to watch LIVE-TV. i have no input.

i have connected the Cable TV to the card.

how do i check if i have a signal ?

i tried

cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg, but the .mpg file contains nothing.

tried video1, 2, 64

i have a PAL card.

the /etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv file contains

alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c
#options ivtv debug=1
#options tuner type=2
options msp3400 simple=1

install ivtv /sbin/modprobe tuner; /sbin/modprobe msp3400; /sbin/modprobe saa7115; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ivtv; /sbin/modprobe ivtv-fb; /sbin/modprobe lirc_i2c
remove ivtv /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove ivtv && /sbin/modprobe -r saa7115 && /sbin/modprobe -r msp3400 && /sbin/modprobe -r tuner && /sbin/modprobe -r ivtv-fb && /sbin/modprobe -r lirc_i2c

and the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file contains
