Is that suppose to spur us into action? If is a free world after all, use what you want. Have you tried the ivtv mailing list? Have you tried a newer version of ivtv?

I know you don't have a pvr150, but the procedure for installing a newer version of ivtv is the same.

ok, thx.. I'll try that soon

didn't work....

Think i'll read some in the forums and do a bit of research.. have to work somehow... aww, really want this to work!

well once you have the latest ivtv you need to figure out what tuner you need to set. There are posts on this around the forum.

yep, cat /var/log/messages | grep tveeprom

Jun 28 13:46:56 mythtv kernel: ivtv: i2c attach [client=tveeprom,ok]
Jun 28 13:46:56 mythtv kernel: tveeprom: Hauppauge: model = 48139, rev = K257, s
erial# = 7671030
Jun 28 13:46:56 mythtv kernel: tveeprom: tuner = Philips FM1216 ME MK3 (idx = 57
, type = 38)
Jun 28 13:46:56 mythtv kernel: tveeprom: tuner fmt = PAL(D/K) (eeprom = 0x74, v4
l2 = 0x00400e17)
Jun 28 13:46:56 mythtv kernel: tveeprom: audio_processor = CS5331 (type = 9)

got type 38.

Now I have to change it like this
"nano /etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv
-change the "options tuner type" line to read
options tuner type=38

Done.

Don't work..

Now what? ;)

I had a similar problem with a Hauppauge 150 MCE and an ATI Radeon 9600.
I followed the instructions regarding installation of the 150. Everything seemed to be working but I couldn't view live TV. I went to the ati web site and downloaded the proprietary ATI Linux drivers, installed the drivers, rebooted and everything worked.

After examining my message and syslog files I realized that the ATI card wasn't correctly recognized by the system. Consequently it was defaulting to VESA mode and only using 8 bits for the video.

The documents that I used were the 150 installation how to (which is on this site) and the ATI proprietary Linux driver instructions.

I've got the same card. From searching the forums, I had the impression that our type 38 is not very common.


Same here: I tried zillions of possibilities and I always got only static / snow (with some vague pictures in the background)

I removed all changes from my /etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv and added the important line:

Reboot and the TV was fine!
BTW: You might want to check the channel settings via web interface. Go to
http://127.0.0.1/mythweb/settings_channels.php
and update the FreqID (for German cabel networks, you would enter E? and SE?, e.g. E5 and SE11 for channels; look them up from your cable provider) [/url]
