This is an old thread, but I finally got the AverMedia card working and wanted to post what I did to hopefully save someone else the problem.
The issue was that while ivtv correctly detected my video card as an m179, it wasn't able to detect the tuner. dmesg would show tuner 0-0060: tuner type not set For this card, the tuner type should be 2, it seems. I added the following line to /etc/modprobe.conf: options ivtv ivtv_debug=1 tuner=2 Now when I modprobe ivtv, the above dmesg line now shows that the tuner type is 2. I can change channels, and the video looks fine (well, fine for an M179). Thanks for everyone who helped. The answer was out there. I just had to keep digging long enough to find the relevant keywords to search for. Alas. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
