First, I'm totally new to Linux and MythTV.
I've succeeded to install myThTV.

When I try to watch TV or DVD, it freezes after one or two seconds. I have to push the reset button. (for now, it's not connected to the TV. it's still connected to my monitor)

This is my config:
Athlon XP Mobile 2500 +
AN7 Abit
nvidia fx 5200 128 MB.
1024 DDR (dual channel , elixir ddr400, no problems with it I ran memtest for more than 6 hours without any error).
Maxtor DM 10 250 GB 16MB cache.
DVDRW Pioneer DVR-110D
Hauppauge WinTV 150

I set my capture card as Hauppauge 250/350 in backend, because mine was not listed even if I can see "winTv 150 detected" in the ivtv section when the computer boots.
I'm using KnoppMyth R5A16.
I've installed nvidia-7754 or something like that.

Any idea?

I've installed from scrap KnoppMyth R5A22.
Now, it still freezes about after 5-6 seconds when watching TV.
For DVD , It doesn't freeze anymore but it quits and return to MythTV interface.

Any idea

Are you overclocking? Is PnP enabled in the BIOS? Are devices sharing IRQs? Have you tried the 150 in another slot?

cesman, no I'm not overclocking (actually downclocking), no PNP is not enabled in the BIOS.
Yes there are devices sharing IRQs. I think WINTV150 is sharing an IRQ.
How can I be sure it's sharing IRQ or not. I'm totally newbie, I don't know the command.

And no I didn't try the 150 in another slot.

I don't know if it changes something but I don't use the tuner of the card but the Svideo input because I'm on the digital Cable.
Also, KnoppMyth couldn't use ACPI at the install.

Actually for PNP I think it's enabled.

In PnP/Pci Configurations I have
Reset Configuration Data : Disabled
Resources Controlled by : Auto (ESCD)

Here it is a screenshot...

My WinTV 150 is sharing IRQ 10 with my AGP card nvidia fx5200

How can I force wintv to not share IRQ?

When TV freezes, I can put the num lock on or off until I'm trying Ctrl +Alt +F1 (or f2).

Nobody has any idea ?

I am having a very similar problem, but my box crashes after about half an hour of either watching live TV, or recording. I'm running Fedora Core 4 with MythTV and a PVR500 on an Athlon XP 2000+ with 512 Meg Ram and a Radeon 9200 graphics card.

- Should PnP be enabled in the Bios or not, I think it is?
- A device is sharing an IRQ with, I think, the graphics card, how do I change this? I found it is from looking at one of the system utilities on the KDE desktop.
- I have tried using the card in the second PCI slot to have less IRQ sharing displayed. Documentation on PVR 500 said it may be required to put it in PCI 1 or 2 on some machines. (The PVR 500 is 2*PVR 150 combined on one card).
- I'm doing a memery test now using Memtest-86
- How do I find out if my computer is overclocked?
- the command "yum install ivtv-kmdl-FedoraKernelVersionHere" returns nothing when running as described on http://www.wilsonet.com/mythtv, what is this, and is it required?

Sorry about all the questions, but I have been trying many things, even a new hard drive, and fedora install, which failed due to the yum install ivtv-kmdl* part.

Thanks,
