Folks,
I guess I'll reply to my own message...
On the ivtv-devel list I find:
With Hans Verkuil's help, which was VERY much appreciated, my
problem turned
out to be that I was using the tuner that came with the linux
kernel itself
rather than the one that came with ivtv-0.3.9. Looks likely I was
doing the
same with tveeprom as well. Once I switched, I was able to get
both tuners
working correctly and successfully captured mpeg using the cat /dev/
video?
trick.
Which seems like it could easily be my problem as well. So, I'm
wondering if anyone out there can give me a pointer on how to prevent
the card from being controlled by the kernal modules, and get the
correct modules from ivtv to load instead. Will I have to re-compile
the kernel to do this?
My kernel version is the latest FC3 kernel: "Linux version
2.6.12-1.1378_FC3 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version
3.4.4 20050721 (Red Hat 3.4.4-2)) #1 Wed Sep 14 04:24:31 EDT 2005"
Thanks for any pointers!

Larry,
Well, I've put my card into a windows machine and it doesn't
appear to be broken. BeyondTV can use both tuners.
I'll check out the ivtv list. If you make any progress, can
you let this list know?
Thanks,
Peter

I have the same problem, and a lengthy thread over in the ivtv-
devel archive. No solution yet. I've tried just about everything.

I've just installed a PVR-500, and I'm having a problem. I
can use video1,
but I get only static on video0. It seems like the problem is that
it's not
actually able to change channel; I think it's tuning channel 1
which I don't
get, since the static looks just like a tv that doesn't have an
antenna or
cable hooked up. It's possible that the problem is not that it's not
changing channel, so I don't want to rule anything out.
When I try to use ivtv-tune, I get:
# ivtv-tune -d/dev/video0 -c60
/dev/video0: 439.250 MHz
# ivtv-tune -d/dev/video1 -c60
/dev/video1: 439.250 MHz (Signal Detected)
Which seems to be saying that the channel change on video0
didn't succeed,
while the change on video1 did.
I'm hoping that there's someone else out there who has had
similar problems
and can give me a pointer. I'm also not rulling out that it's just
broken.
Thanks,
Peter Darley
