| Post subject: | Cannot view cable on PVR-500 |
After MANY attempts I still cannot view any television. Here is what I have tried so far: I tried what was said here to: http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=6420 and after installing ivtv-0.4.0, I used this: http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Firmware I mad these two files match up from the above page: 3a4803384f749d644ee1f1ca9dcb12fa /lib/modules/HcwMakoA.ROM 5f5fa240ada73c3565f5f7de4c7b5138 /lib/modules/ivtv-fw-enc.bin (from pvr_2.0.24.23035.zip) I am really not sure on the exact flow because of all the version changes. I followed this guys basic flow also: http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic. ... ght=pvr500. I also tried editing the config files as he says: http://www.bitbenderforums.com/~ralpha6 ... mythtv.htm I am kinda new to this whole knoppmyth thing. Thank you for anyone trying to help me. |

Do you get static? Do you get a black screen? What do you get? Is your television on? Have you checked the backend log? When you state Quote: cannot view any television. It simply isn't telling us much.

Sorry, I get static, my monitor is on and I can use mythTV just fine, but when I try to watch tv, I get static. I have not checked the backend log, because I dont know what it is, or what it would tell me. |

The backend log is the log that is created/appended to when the MythTV backend is started/running. If there are issues, this is one of the first places to look. With 0.4.0 of ivtv, you shouldn't need any special lines to get it working. |
