OK I am about to give up. I obviously don't have a clue as to why this box is not working. Since my last post I have done the following:
1) Did a full reinstall of the software
2) Updated ivtv drivers and firmware as per suggested with full shutdown for 5 minutes.
3) Setup the prv-500 again.
Now no video at all. I go to view TV and the screen blinks and goes back to the menu.
4) Tried the last three steps again with a different motherboard (same type) and different CPU and go the same results.
I have spent sooooo much time without any results. Could this be a motherboard incompatability? At this point the only thing pluged into the motherboard it the PVR-500, RAM and the CPU. I took out my Nividia GeForce 5500 because I thought that might be causing problems.
I feel that I am pretty darn computer savy even though I am a linux newbie and I am frankly at a loss as to where to go from here. This has to be some sort of software issue or hardware/software incompatability. I have included the ivtv logs below.
Any ideas will be MORE than welcome.....
