This still leaves unanswered what you are supposed to use for a PVR150/500... None of the choices are particularly clear. I am presently trying using 'Mpeg capture card (Matrox G200..' etc. And that does not seem to work. I now have the pcHDTV card installed and I have copied the kernel tveeprom module into the 'updates' stream, replacing tveeprom-ivtv. Dmesg seems to happy, except for the fact that the default frequency for one of the radio tuners is set to 0.00... ivtv-detect against the i2c bus seems ok...although it reports the PVR 500 units as MPEG against /dev/video0 and /dev/video1 and YUV against /dev/video32 and /dev/video33, BUT it reports the pcHDTV as YUV against /dev/video2...???? Mythtv-setup seems to be happy with all of this, EXCEPT I still cannot scan even if I use the Broadcast listing. Broadcast is coupled to the pcHDTV card against /dev/video32 in prior pages of setup. AND, if I so much as move the cursor selection into the Channel page (without changing anything), the mythtv-setup starts throwing the continuing error: "QMYSQLReport::data: column 3 is out of range" Up to that point, mythbackend seems quite happy, and if I exit mythtv-setup are setting the input connections, I can run mythfilldatabase without problem... but merely touching the Channel screen causes an error. I still cannot scan in the Channel screen even when I have selected the pcHDTV.... Using mythfrontend to watch live TV times out trying to get signal....Very discouraged at this state of affairs, as I know that the hardware does work. Next step will have to be a compile and install of mythtv...this setup was a 'yum' job and I now doubt that the configure is quite right. Geoff R.
