Re: [mythtv-users] Frequencies]
I already tried that option. The problem seems to be that the tuner (TCL2002N) isn't fully supported yet. There was a suggestion over on the Video4Linux list to modify tuner.c but the version of ivtv (0.2) that I have doesn't have tuner.c. The card setup has been confirmed with ivtcl (0.2 replacement for test_ioctl). If I start MythTV and then go into a terminal window I can run ptune.pl there and pass a frequency number that I have previously determined will be on a channel. MythTV then shows that video/audio perfectly. Based on that I think that the card is set correctly but the tuner is getting tuned incorrectly. When the driver loads at boot it is setting the correct tuner type. > Robert wrote: > >>Yea.. but does not solve my problem.

hmmm ... have you checked all the card settings with test_ioctl? Robert wrote: Yea.. but does not solve my problem.

Robert Usually all you need to do is make sure that frequid is set properly and that chanid selects the right tuner. For instance, I used to use input 2 for direct tv and input 1 for antenna. The local guide for my area had NBC on channel 5 but it actually came in much better on channel 30. All I had to do was update frequid to 30 for chanid 1005. Telemundo was received via antenna but didn't have channel guides. All I had to do was change chanid from 2369 (or whatever it was) to 1369 and set freqid to 49 (the local channel). clear? ;) ___ mythtv-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
