I'm not sure if you are using any options in modprobe.conf (or equiv) that are forcing to NTSC, but there are a couple of complaints in the ivtv output of unknown options being passed. Does the card work without any options (i.e. does is autodetect properly)? I would also take this to the ivtv list (where it is more appropriate) and see if there is a known issue.

Re: [mythtv-users] PVR-150 status?
What if you have two pvr-150's? will the second video be real then? or will there be /dev/video0-3? On Thu, 2005-05-26 at 11:12 -0500, Robert Kulagowski wrote: Not sure. the most obvious good feature about the 150 is contrary to the Hauppage site which says the '150 is the priced reduced version of the 250' it appears that the 150 with the 0.3.3k driver is actually dual tuner. However I haven't tried recording from the second tuner yet. And you won't be able to record anything from the second tuner, because the 150 is _not_ a dual-tuner device, unlike the PVR-500, which is. Any Tuner 1 you find on a PVR device isn't really there, in the same way that my PVR-250's don't have 4 S-Video inputs. As stated in the HOWTO, only the lowest numbered device in each class is actually there. So on a PVR-500, you get /dev/video0 and /dev/video1 and you'd use the Tuner 0 on each one. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] IR receiver help
I am all about the geek quotient, but I have a couple of things to consider. First, this is first stab for me, but ultimately this will be a system for my mom, who is not super technosavvy. That being said, I don't think the ir keyboard will work. I was hoping to use a tivo remote, which learns both the tv and stereo. But what you said interests me... why wouldn't an IR keyboard require lirc? How would it communicate with your system? On Sun, 2005-05-22 at 16:23 -0400, David wrote: You might also consider what I did: 1. First, buy a cheap IR keyboard. I got a $17 Lite-On IR keyboard from Newegg. It was like $22 shipped. It is very compact, about the size of a laptop keyboard, with a mouse joystick and two buttons built in. This gives you the ability to do things only a keyboard can do, without the wires, and without a separate mouse. 2. Next, buy a cheap learning remote that is JP1 compatible. I bought the One4All 8810w from Wal-Mart for $18. 3. Next, either train the remote to the keyboard keys you want (sometimes very challenging depending on keyboard model), or buy/build a JP1 cable and use the free IR and RemoteMaster software to download the protocol for the keyboard directly into the remote. I did the latter, it's far more flexible and provides a backup for my remote that I can download back to it should the remote lose its memory. Using this approach gives you both a wireless keyboard and a universal remote that can be used with the rest of your system, WITHOUT requiring lirc. lirc was always troublesome for me in one way or another. This way the remote communicates with the keyboard receiver and all buttons are mapped as keystrokes. You'll also have a very capable universal remote that works with all of your other omponents, and once you have it programmed and configured just right, you use the JP1 cable to upload it to your PC. If your remote ever gets hosed and loses its memory, or dies and you can buy another just like it, you just download the file into your remote and it's instantly reprogrammed. Very nice. It isn't a perfect solution, but works way better than any lirc approach I've used, and is more flexible. Plus it has a higher geek quotient. :) David Dan H Orlic wrote: hello all, The last thing I need before jumping into mythtv is an IR receiver. I have two PVR-150 which does not have an IR receiver.

[mythtv-users] Non-digital cable noob questions
Hello all, I am getting ready to take the leap into the mythtv fray. I have gotten 2 pvr-150 cards and going to get a supported video card with s-video out capabilities. The cable set up is non-digital comcast tv with two physical cables, an A and B cable. My hope is to connect the A cable to one, and the B to the other...pretty smart huh? My questions are as follows: 1) since the pvr-150 cards do not have ir receivers, what do I use to control the cards? as I understand it an IR Blaster is used to change channels on the digital receiver to record shows. 2) Since my cable is not digital, do I need the cable box at all or can the pvr card handle the tuning on their own? 3) Any other tips tricks before I get started would be greatly appreciated. Please feel free to tell me to rtfm at will, but most documentation on the subject are for digital cable setups. thank you all. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
