OK so it seems there isn't much of a production solution to CC on Myth using ivtv. That's cool, at least now I know. ;) --- Tyler Trafford <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Thu, Jul 28, 2005 at 09:17:57PM -0400, sukovich > wrote: > > > > >The end of my local.start file contains: > > >echo "Init

Cory, I've tried several versions of the nvidia driver and based on what I see and what I've read in the nvidia forums the interlace feature of the driver doesn't work correctly. The 1.0.6xxx drivers all double the scan lines, effectively halving the resolution. The 1.0.7xxx drivers seem to drop t

Nicer than any tvout on any vid card I've ever seen... would you agree? Just a quick question... did you use a crystal for the 3.58MHz color subcarrier? Is that the trimmer cap you're talking about? I had a bugger of a time getting it calibrated, as I don't have a spectrum analyzer. I di

The solution for me was to set the ivtv options much later in the boot process, well after the ivtv module itself was loaded and after I initialized it with dd. On my Gentoo system I put the ivtvctl command in my /etc/conf.d/local.start file, and that makes CC work for both live TV and in recor

Apologies. I have answered my own question by passing the correct tuner option in the /etc/modprobe.d/ivtv file when using the 0.2 version. Namely: options ivtv ivtv_debug=1 tuner=38 I thought I had tried that before, but I might not have unloaded/loaded the modules correctly. It doesn't answe

Cory, Bryan, Thanks for the info, I will experiment with other DisplaySize values in a 4:3 ratio until I find a text size that is comfortable. Cory, the hardware I built is the same as yours, it uses a 3.579545MHz crystal adjusted with the trimmer (good enough for the application we're using it f

I'm trying to get widescreen switching working and I was wondering if anyone had successfully got this working for PAL on a 350? Several months ago, I tried to get this working using the 0.2 driver on my Panasonic TV. When trying 'ivtvctl -x 1 -b wss -x wss', my TV would interpret some switching s
