I will try to look closer at my card tonight and see if I can see
if my dmesg log matches anyone else's situation. My trouble is getting
the machine in the same place as the cable signal and 'net access.

I will try downgrading the firmware to an older version. Is the
0x02040011 version the one on the CD?
I can access both tuners fine. Only one gives me nothing but static. I
don't know if this is related to a 'vbi: Invalid argument' I get on
the terminal when mythfrontend is running.

Thanks for the pointer. I had it setup this way already. The capturing
Im trying to do which is giving me static is using ptune and cat
/dev/v4l/video0 > ~/vid0.mpg. The tuner0, tuner1, s-video0, etc
doesn't come into it.

There was a thread about a similar thing on ivtv-devel a week or
so ago. A friend of mine's PVR-500 and the one I recently purchased has
the same problem: only tuner1 works... tuner2 is static. I haven't had
time to work on mine and figure it out.
Looks to me like Danesh has a different problem... He said he's
getting static from the first tuner (he calls it "video0", you call
it "tuner 1"), while the second works fine.
I have a problem with mine where the first tuner works fine and the
second tuner returns nothing, though, and haven't been able to get
anything definitive from ivtv-users... Guess I'll have to check out
ivtv-devel and see what I can find there.
IIRC, the current theory has to do with i2c not initializing it
properly and/or the tveeprom module used is the wrong one. I tried
manually loading the ivtv-based tveeprom on mine last night (rather than
the kernel one), but no joy.
Oh, looks like you're affected by the problem under discussion on
ivtv-devel? Do you show a bunch of errors in dmesg that look like
"ivtv warning: i2c client addr: 0x44 not found for command
0x40046406!"? If so, that's the same problem I have... (Danesh,
OTOH, is definitely having a different problem than I am, since he
initializes without any of those errors.)

This is what I would look at first. Are you sure you have the right
firmware binaries in /lib/modules? Here's what I've got in mine:
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 14264 2005-08-27 20:14 HcwMakoA.ROM
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 262144 2005-08-27 20:12 ivtv-fw-dec.bin

ab75947ef1b086e26f9b08e628baa02e ivtv-fw-enc.bin
If yours don't match, you may want to try downloading an older
ivtv-fw-enc.bin/ivtv-fw-dec.bin and see if that helps. (A check of
my dmesg output shows that I'm using revision 0x02040011, as
recommended by the warning you're getting.)
