Post subject:  WinTV PVR 150
Can anyone tell me does the new R5A10 release support this card or can someone tell me how to get support for it working. Also im using a wireless network for updating my EPG etc can someone explain how to set that up? Im using a DLINK DWL-G520 which does have linux support under suse and many other distros

Thanks

No it doesnt.. atm nothing supports this card totaly in linux.. There has been some progress VERY recently with ivtv. But nothing TOtaly stable yet.

the pvr150 is not supported in the latest version of knoppmyth or any other distribution (other than windows) at this point. There have been some semi success stories on the mythtv mailing list, but at this point it is still very bleeding edge and buggy.

as for the wireless search the forums I think that model has been discussed before if I remember correctly.

Read the README included with source. Should be as simply as cd driver, ./configure, make, make install, cd ../utility, make and make install. If you have problem, check the ivtv mailing list.

I also have an ATI TV Wonder VE i know that would work but is picture quality going to be bad? Are there other commonly availble cards that work well? ATI TV Woner PRO?

Avoid ATI. Just my 2 cents. Search the forum...

I'm reminded by another thread today: you'll also need to untar the kernel sources on the mythbox to recompile a newer ivtv.

ATI works fine, but linux doesn't have any support for hardware mpeg encoding so it's a bit of a cpu hog..

PVR 350 seems to be the best card around.. i use the ATI since my Backend is dedicated with plenty of CPU and i was able to use it in conjunction with firewire to support 2 tuners.

PVR 250 works good as well and i know circuit city has had good deals on those..

Just a small correction, it's not that linux does not have support for hardware encoding on the ati cards, the ati wonder cards do not have a hardware encoder on them to support.

In case anyone's interested here's my method for updating ivtv:

download the tarball (in this example ivtv-0.2.0-rc3e.tgz)
Code:
wget "http://205.209.168.201/~ckennedy/ivtv//ivtv-0.3/OLD/ivtv-0.3.2e.tgz"

untar (doesn't matter where really)
Code:
tar -xzvf ivtv-0.3.2e.tgz
su mythtv
cd ivtv-0.3.2e/driver
make
cd ../util
make
su
cd driver
make install
cd ../util
make install

Thanks. Any chance of these drivers being integrated in Knoppmyth any time soon?

The 0.3.x drivers, no. My understanding is that the knoppmyth policy is to only includes stable branches, which are 0.2.x and, if and when it arrives, 0.4.x. 0.3.x is the current unstable branch for ivtv.

With that said, I've read that some of the PVR-150 and PVR-500 compatibility has been backported to the 0.2.x ivtv branch but I'm somewhat fuzzy on whether that's in the official 0.2.x branch or someone's fork.

My understanding is that ralph's instructions for the PVR-500 (essentially, install ivtv-0.3.2s, esp. manually fixing the ivtv-0.3.2 tuner.ko problem in make install, and making suggested configuration changes) should work for the PVR-150, with the changes of removing the 2nd ivtvctl command from the script. However, I cannot test it, as I don't have the card.
