Hey all

Installed KnoppMyth, everything went fine, except I get no video when I try to watch tv, I used this as an install guide for the backend http://knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=PVR500DualTuner. Someone in that wiki mentioned having to update the firmware for the 500, is that a common thing for the newer ones? I just got this one this week.

Any suggestions or help you could give would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
-Jim

The DVR & PVR 500 are two different cards... I had a quick google but didn't find much that helps :( something mentioned it uses a connexant chip (the old ones use a brooktree? chip)

Ooops, that was a typo on my part, I do have the PVR 500 :)

I see that the period after that link was messing it up, here it is again, just in case http://knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=PVR500DualTuner

Well looking at some other posts I think I see the issue, I'll try installing the newest IVTV tonight and see if that works :)

You're a little light on details... What version of KnoppMyth are you installing? I believe R5A30.2 already has the latest IVTV (0.4.2) module. It does have a slightly older version of the firmware so upgrading that to the one recommend for 0.4.2 might help.

Jim-

Thanks for posting the fix for the Hauppauge 500 card. :)
I tried to install KnoppMyth R5A30.2 and had no video, then following the link you suggested, I was able to upgrade the drivers.

Take care.

The 0.4.3 drivers are supposed to include that patch and the directions on the CompileIvtv page have been updated to install that version.
