At this point I would be happy to see vertical lines in the video captured using my PVR-500. :) It seems like the only input on my PVR-500 that gets anything (just static unfortunately) was 6. Of course I am trying to run this in NTSC mode not PAL mode. So that may be the difference with that setting. And this is on the first tuner on the PVR-500, the second tuner does not appear to get anything. I am currently trying to use what appears to be ivtv 0.3.7. The firmware I have is listed as dec-2.02.023-4. All from the ATRPMS repo. Could the problem I'm having be that I don't have the correct ivtv drivers/firmware? These seem to work just fine with the PVR-350 I have.
