Hi,

I'm still trying to get my PVR-500 working 100%.  Right now, I can use ptune.pl to change the channel, and then cat /dev/video0 > /tmp/test.mpg, and then play that in mplayer.  Works like a charm.  However, when I try to launch tvtime, I get the following:

Running tvtime 0.9.15.
Reading configuration from /etc/tvtime/tvtime.xml
Reading configuration from /root/.tvtime/tvtime.xml
xcommon: No window properties found for EWMH.
videoinput: Card failed to allocate capture buffers: Invalid argument

On the screen it shows just a blue screen with "no signal" at the top.  If I try to change channels, I get the message "cannot open capture device /dev/video0."  This doesn't make sense, because I was just able to read from /dev/video0!  xawtv and mythfrontend also don't seem able to use the tuner, but the combination of ptune.pl and mplayer seem ok.  Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks,
Brian
