[mythtv-users] Static on only One Channel
I upgraded myth a while ago (svn version from a couple of weeks ago) and since then I've gotten static on only 1 channel. Direct to the tv comes out pretty clean but the myth box has heavy diagonal lines through the picture. Viewing comcast regular cable in Provo, Utah and the staticy channel is 28. Any Idea why this one channel would be staticy? -- _\ | /_ (@ @) -oOOo-(_)-oOOo- ~ Mark Gardner ~ ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

I tried the suggestion for the other type of cable (us-cable-hrc, I didn't see us-cable-irc listed), but that made all the channels static. I flipped through the setup menu, where abouts is the 'auto tuning' located?

Re: [mythtv-users] Static on PVR-150 running FC3
One of the two backends I'm trying to get working is using a PVR-150. I get video and audio from the ivtv-0.3.5p driver, but the driver does not load correctly at boot time for me under Gentoo if they are in modprobe.conf. I get a blue screen and distorted audio. I moved the modprode statements to /etc/conf.d/local.start and they load fine. If this sounds remotely like what you arre seeing then try this driver and jsut modprobe it by hand. That works for me. BTW - so foar there are a few of us who cannot tune above channel 60 with this driver and the PVR-150.

Re: [mythtv-users] Static on PVR-150 running FC3
I'm a novice, so may not be 100% correct, but to get my PVR-500MCE working after having similar symptoms as you do (which is supposedly 2 PVR-150's on one card), I did the following: First, my modprobe.conf has the following two sets of lines: >From Jarod's guide: # ivtv (PVR-500MCE) alias char-major-81 videodev alias char-major-81-0 ivtv alias char-major-81-1 ivtv options cx25840 no_black_magic=1 >From this thread: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/ivtv/devel/20096?search_string=pvr-500;#20096 alias tveeprom tveeprom-ivtv alias msp3400 msp3400-ivtv alias tuner tuner-ivtv Second, I couldn't use the script that Jarod describes for loading mythbackend. Instead, I load it using the ~/.kde/Autostart/myth-load.sh file by inserting mythbackend & before I load mythfrontend. Hope this helps.

Both of the new tuners are NTSC. Yours is type 38--which has been available for quite some time. Therefore, you do *not* need the tuner patches. If you have already compiled them, they won't hurt, but don't go off on a tangent because of the tuner patches, because they are not your problem. tveeprom: tuner fmt = PAL(D/K) (eeprom = 0x74, v4l2 = 0x00400e17) audio_processor = CS5331 (type = 9) ivtv: i2c attach [client=tveeprom[1],ok] From /var/log/messages: Dec 14 09:44:43 mythtv last message repeated 3 times Dec 14 09:44:43 mythtv kernel: saa7115: decoder disable output Dec 14 09:44:43 mythtv kernel: saa7115: decoder enable output Channel change.

The ivtv driver will take care of loading all dependent modules for you. Just make sure you load ivtv with modprobe and *not* with insmod. add above ivtv lirc_dev lirc_i2c ivtv-fb You can keep this, too. Note that if you take out the options and add below I specified, your system should almost work, but you'll probably need one other option. Some--generally French SECAM users--may need to specify options ivtv tda9887=0 PAL users, may need to specify options ivtv tda9887=1 Since yours is a PAL/SECAM multiformat tuner, you may need one of these options.

Re: [mythtv-users] Static on
I'm in the same boat. I get partial success by using a cheap RF amp, but I'm taking a more drastic step in rebuilding the box as a FC2 (instead of FC3). Oh, and I also tried the bleeding (0.3) ivtv...no joy. Please let me know if you figure something out. (FWIW, I'm tuner type 2) At 02:59 PM 12/19/2004, Asciimonster wrote: I'm really out of options.
