Hi,
Got it solved somehow...
Seems that the composite output of my PVR-350 (rev K257, tuner 38)
causes trouble: my TV can not synchronise in a stable manner
using the composite output, but with the s-video output it can.
So, now I'm a happy man: capture composite in, capture s-video in

Yes, that works fine here (the tuner is not in use).
Note that it won't always wo
I just use svideo-out. That way I can redirect the audio to line-in of
my mobo and line-out to my amp. So all PVR-sound goes through my
stereo.
I also get black and white bars after a cold-boot but those disappear
after I use the card (i.e. start the frontend on it).
I don't think the tuner is used
Nick,
Some additional info:
I tried capturing from the S-Video input and also didn't
get a stable picture:
Plugged the S-Video out of my VIA EPIA board into
the TV and I got a nice, stable picture.
Next, I plugged the S-Video output of the VIA EPIA into
the PVR-350's input and plugged the output of
Driver seems to be OK, it should set the correct registers. As for the
colors, check your settings and compare them to mine; maybe there's an
obvious difference. The bottom of the output gives the color-stuff so
that would be the 1st thing I'd check.
# ivtvctl -a
ioctl: IVTV_IOC_G_CODEC

Nick,
The driver I use is 0.2.0-rc3d from ATrpms.
I'm sure that the output of the 350 is working correctly;
the tuner/capture part just isn't.
Regards,
Peter.

Peter,
what driver are you using; the newer cards have an saa7129 in stead of
an saa7127. They need some additional registers set to get a decent
picture. The latest 0.2 and development 0.3 drivers have this fixed.

Too bad it didn't work for you. I still haven't done a cold boot but
for now the card is working. All I did was tune to a station I knew
had a good signal (SE11 in my case but that doesn't matter) and
rebooted and it magically worked. I hoped this would have helped
others as well but with no luck.
Nick,
I tried your trick, but the results are different. Like you said in one of
your other posts, the saa7115 status is 40c0 when booting (tuner status bad).
I then used ptune.pl to tune to a known working station (ptune.pl --freqtable
pal-europe-west --channel E4). After 5 seconds the status

Hey, if I have to reboot anyway, it doesn't matter using Linux or Win* in
the first place. ;-)
I wonder how you used to "tune to good station". I've selected some channels
which I know to contain a station in normal operation, but ivtvctl -I never
presented anything than
# ivtvctl -I

Hi Nick,
Didn't have time to test your trick (I'm having trouble with my
PVR-350 tuner type 38 too: unstable picture).
I know from experience in the past that rmmod of all related modules
followed by 'modprobe ivtv' while tuned to a station does not help.
So, if your trick works, the soft reboot se
Well I'm back to square 1... I borrowed a 350 from a friend to try
some dual card setup and tuning doesn't work for me either (bummer, I
had a working config...)
saa7115 reg 0x1e is 0x40 so basicly the same issue. I get this with
both cards; doubt that they both are broken.
Hope to get this sorted
Found a fix quicker than I thought; don't know if it will "survive" a
cold boot but hey, I got some stuff programmed to record right now so
I'm happy for now :-)
try this:
ivtvctl -I should give something like BAD SIGNAL
with ptune-ui.pl, tune to good station.
ivtvctl -I gave in my case: Sat/Dvd

I've setup 3 boxes so far, all using Gentoo; 2 have model 988, one
model 991. All are working just fine allthough the 1st one I setup had
the same problem (static, couldn't tune).
As in my previous posts, this was all I needed in my modules.conf:

HI,
I just want to confirm the problems as described by Gijs de Wachter in the
thread "PVR-350 tuner problem" (see
http://www.mail-archive.com/ivtv-devel%40lists.sourceforge.net/msg00188.html )
with my PVR-350 card (model 991 specified on the box).
The details are pretty much the same ones:
