it looks like everything it working but, when i try to use it the ivtv warning just keeps poping up in the dmesg.
any ideas ?
i am getting desperate.
thx for any help you can dig up Smile

Unless you happen to know that it's misdetecting the tuner type or you need to use type 47 for some other reason, go into your /etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv and either set the tuner type to 55 like the driver detects, or don't set it at all and let the autodetection work like it's supposed to.
