1) Wrong frequency set for your locale or cable system.
2) Wrong card/tuner type, so that when the frequency is translated to commands for the card, those are wrong.

That i haddent conected i tto the radio..
also the picture isent only snow, there is also green and purple squares around in it..
1: right frequency, also tryed to use ptune-ui.pl to look for channels
2: think my settings are right, cant check now thought.. away from the box.

1: Yes i can switch tuner by pressing Y. althought the image is just the same on the other tuner
2: THe picture is covered by snow, and green and purple boxes, the sound is laggin or, chopping..
from dmesg
Code: tveeprom: Hauppauge: model = 23559, rev = D491, serial# = 8748867
tveeprom: tuner = Philips FQ1216AME MK4 (idx = 91, type = 56) from /etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv Code: alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
alias char-major-81-0 bttv
alias /dev/video0 ivtv
options ivtv ivtv_debug=1 tda9887=0
options msp3400 once=1 simple=1 from : /etc/sysconfig/ivtv/cfg-0 & 1 Code: IVTV_TUNER='56'
IVTV_TYPE='PAL' my: nano /etc/init.d/set_ivtv_params Code: IVTV_DF='PAL' # tuner format [NTSC|PAL]
my settings: mythtv-setup
TV format = PAL
VBI Format = PAL Teletext
Channel Frequency table = europe-west
i used ptune-ui.pl to tune into channels from mythtv, the frequency table is set to the right one.
some one got some ideas?

Hi,
Code: alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
alias char-major-81-0 bttv
alias /dev/video0 ivtv
options ivtv ivtv_debug=1 tda9887=0
options msp3400 once=1 simple=1 I would change this part like: Code: alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
alias char-major-81-1 ivtv
# alias char-major-81-0 bttv
alias /dev/video0 ivtv
# options ivtv ivtv_debug=1 tda9887=0
# options msp3400 once=1 simple=1
Can you post your association of video0 and/or video1 with tuner0 and/or tuner1 with "provider_myproviderdenmarklocal'?

alright here goes: Mythtv-setup
1: Capture Cards
dev/video0
and
dev/video1
both setup as a haupauge 250 card
2:
under video sources i made a new one called cable, and then got it to get the channels, and under chanel frequency table i chose europe-west
3:
Input connections, i got:
/dev/video0 (tuner0) -> cable
/dev/video0 (tuner1) -> cable
/dev/video1 (tuner0) -> cable
/dev/video1 (tuner1) -> cable
they all got this as their setup (when ýou press return on one of them)
video sources: cable
Input preference: 0
External channel change command: "blank"
preset tuner to channel: "blank"
starting channel: 1

Is channel 1 a real channel that exists on your cable feed? If the channel specified here doesn't really exist bad things happen...

Shouldent i use:
/dev/video1(tuner1). rater than /dev/video1(tuner0).

Hi,
This must be very frustrating for you. Maybe tjc has some brainwaves about this. Would you please post your dmesg using the instructions in
http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=CheckingLogFiles
(I mean the sed command)? CopyPaste of the code is:
Code: sed -n '/= START INIT IVTV/,/= END INIT IVTV/p' </var/log/dmesg | more
This is about checking the PAL stuff and autodetection.
Your hardware might be of interest now...
In another post tjc suggests a clean mythtv-setup. After starting mythtv-setup you will be questioned about deleting card settings and deleting channel settings. Personally I would do a really clean mythtv-setup now, deleting old channel settings and card settings. The only thing you will lose are your manually edited channels (frequencies and so on).
Unfortunately I don't know about taking screenshots 
F.

Hi,
I don't see any very strange things in the dmesg you've posted. Maybe you could follow this post as well:
http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=7299
The last post in this thread by tjc says: Quote: That would be my next move, say yes to both questions at the start of mythtv-setup, and do a clean configuration.
Maybe you could give the 'clean configuration' a try?
BTW there is very limited info about your hardware. Is the 500MCE your one and only TV card?
F.
