Re: [mythtv-users] PVR-500 Only one tuner works
Lonnie, Again, please pardon my ignorance. :) I thought that the kernel was monolithic and the modules were all compiled into one kernel binary? If so, what should I be renaming? When I do a locate ivtv, I get several sets of things that don't look like source or docs, any of which I could potentially rename: I get /sys/module/ivtv/ with a bunch of files and directories under it. I get /usr/lib/ivtv/ivtvfwextract.pl which is certainly not a driver. I get /lib/modules/ which has ivtv-fw-enc.bin and some other .bin files in it. I get /lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1378_FC3/updates/drivers/media/ video/ with ivtv.ko and other ivtv related .ko files. Would these be the kernel modules that I would rename?

Re: [mythtv-users] PVR-500 Only one tuner works
Folks, First, sorry for spamming the list with all this stuff. I feel like I'm getting a handle on things, but it's slow and plodding. When I go to get the source for 0.3.9 from svn as per the thread, I get a message saying it's not available: "[EMAIL PROTECTED] ivtv]# svn co http://ivtvdriver.org/svn/ivtv/ tags/0.3.9 ivtv svn: URL 'http://ivtvdriver.org/svn/ivtv/tags/0.3.9' doesn't exist" I did get the source for 0.4.0, and it looks like the patch is already in there. I also have itvt v0.4.0 from yum on the system, and I'm still getting the same problems. When I do "dmesg | grep tuner" I get: "ivtv0: i2c attach to card #0 ok [client=(tuner unset), addr=60] tuner 1-0060: chip found @ 0xc0 (ivtv i2c driver #0) tveeprom: tuner = Philips FQ1236A MK4 (idx = 92, type = 57) tveeprom: tuner fmt = NTSC(M) (eeprom = 0x08, v4l2 = 0x1000) tuner 1-0060: type set to 57 (Philips FQ1236A MK4) ivtv1: i2c attach to card #1 ok [client=(tuner unset), addr=61] tuner 2-0061: chip found @ 0xc2 (ivtv i2c driver #1) tveeprom: tuner = Philips FQ1236A MK4 (idx = 92, type = 57) tveeprom: tuner fmt = NTSC(M) (eeprom = 0x08, v4l2 = 0x1000) tuner 2-0061: type set to 57 (Philips FQ1236A MK4)" The first tuner is getting ivtv i2c driver #0 at addr=60, and the second is gettin ivtv i2c driver #1 at addr=61, which seems to match the problem as layed out in the thread on ivtv-devel. So, my current question is: is there any way to override the kernel module with an external one, so the kerenel module doesn't load, or am I to the point where my only hope is to re-compile the kernel with the new module, or without any ivtv module and then load the package one?

Re: [mythtv-users] PVR-500 Only one tuner works
Peter, Yes.. The problem is with the kernel tveeprom being used instead of ivtv's version. So quite simply... - If you recompile your kernel, the tveeprom (ivtv version) will be overwritten with the kernel version and hence you will need to recompile ivtv AFTER recompiling your kernel. - If you dont recompile your kernel and simply install ivtv. You shouldn't have a problem. Things should work, but just incase they don't patch the source and try again. The patch fixes radio on the PVR500 (http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/engine?do=post_attachment;postatt_id=1203;list=ivtv).

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!

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.
