Post subject:  Help needed with PVR-150 (read the docs and FAQs)
Hey everyone,

Well, I've setup the PVR-150 (non-MCE) as well as lirc and have the remote working and all sorts of fun stuff. Of course, the most fun part isn't working: TV-in. Here's what I've done so far:

1. Installed .16
2. Followed the OneFifty wiki file in conjunction with Topic 5552.
3. Made the remote work.
4. Selected "Watch TV" and instead, watched my system lockup (hard-boot needed)
5. Tried numerous options for the different modules to no avail.

I know that there are people who have been able to get this to work and I think I'm suffering from what I call "Where's the ketchup" syndrome (When you're looking for the ketchup, it's right in front of you but you can't see it).

Here are some error messages (dmesg):

Code:

Here is my /etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv file:

Code:

alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c
#options ivtv debug=1
#options tuner type=2
#options ivtv debug=1
options cx25840
# no_black_magic=1
options msp3400 once=1 simple=1
options ivtv ivtv_std=0 tuner=50 tda9887=0
options saa7127 i2c_enable=1

install ivtv /sbin/modprobe tuner; /sbin/modprobe msp3400; /sbin/modprobe saa7115;  /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install  ivtv
remove ivtv /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove ivtv && /sbin/modprobe -r saa7115 && /sbin/modprobe -r msp3400 && /sbin/modprobe -r tuner


And, finally, my /etc/modprobe.d/ivtv file:

Code:
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c
options ivtv tuner=50 ivtv_std=0 tda9887=0
#add above ivtv lirc_dev lirc_i2c


Any and all help is appreciated.

I don't know if it will help us, but can you be more specific on what other hardware you and what inputs you are using into the tv card?

P3-933
256MB RAM
SoundBlaster (Chipset) Sound Card
Ye ole 10/100 NIC (ne2000 chipset)
ATI Radeon 7000 AGP 32/MB w/Comp-out and S-out <-- This one kinda' makes me wonder if the vid-out may have something to do with it. *shrugs*

I'm currently using Co-ax in for my input but have tried Comp-in as well (from my GameCube). The big pain in the arse is that it locks up tight so I can't do active troubleshooting. /var/log/messages is just normal messages stuff.

I'll try and get some more info later on in the evening as I just got in from work and need some food. ^_^ I'll grab "lspci", "cat /proc/cpuinfo", "cat /proc/meminfo" and post it once I get some grub into me. :D

Thanks again for any/all help. Will update soon.

It should be worth noting that I'm getting a lot of ichxrom error messages as well like:

Code:
JEDEC: Found no ichxrom device at location zero


Hope this helps. ^_^

Just looking to 'bump' this to see if anyone has any ideas. I won't 'bump' again - I figure once to post and once to bump before I call it quits. ^_^

Can you record anything, without watching it? Try to schedule a recording, and later, try to watch the recording. That way you can see if it is the recording, or the playback that is causing the lockup.

Is the 150 sharing an IRQ w/ anything?

Actually, I wanted to make sure it wasn't the card so I installed FC4 and got it up and running on that with Myth yesterday. I think I may stick with FC4 as it's up and running now. I should've closed the thread. Sorry. :oops: I do appreciate the feedback though.
