[ivtv-devel] Trouble with mythtv, PVR 250 and FC4

[Sean Holohan]

Hey guys, I installed mythtv on a box running FC4 and I'm having some
trouble w/ my Hauppauge PVR 250.  I cat the contents of /dev/video0 but get
nothing.  Here's some info:

Using wilsonet.com's FC4 how-to, everything went fine until I tried
testing the PVR-250 I have.  (Section 10 of wilson's how-to)

I ran the ivtv install w/ no problem, added the NTSC entry into the
/etc/modprobe.conf, and ran "depmod -ae" and "modprobe ivtv" w/ no
errors.

Here's the ivtv content from /var/log/messages :

And I get nothing.  I tried different -p options.  0-8 gives me all the same
result.

I know the cable line isn't the problem (I can see the channels when I
plug it directly into the TV).  Any ideas. Mucho thanks guys.  Can't wait to
get the mythtv working!
