| Post subject: | PVR 500 no TV |
Hello all. I have a athlon 1 Ghz with a SIS chipset motherboard that I thought was working fine with mythtv. I installed a PVR 500 I bought at newegg and followed the instructions on installing knoppmyth from the wiki and the linked HOWTO in the wiki page. When I did it the first time, all I got was channel 4, but it was the same on all the channels. I am using Charter cable straight from the wall, although I have digital cable boxes in the house. I changed my zap2it to the regular cable lineup and reran setup, now I have just static on all channels. I removed the second video source and tried configuring with one source only (since there were 2 tuners) and I am still getting only static on all channels. Anyone able to help with this problem? |

Did you look at the troubleshooting pages? http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=BlackScreenWatchingTV Did you check the log files to see if your tuner was recognized? http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=CheckingLogFiles Did you upgrade your ivtv driver if needed? http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=CompileIvtv Also see the 4th posting in this thread: http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=9424 |

Also now I have seemed to update my ivtv driver and firmware and I am still getting snow on all channels. I tried us-cable and hrc and irc and still nothing but snow. I am wondering, since I have digital cable in the house if I should set zap2it up for digital cable even though my source is not from the box? Also I ran sed -n '/= START INIT IVTV/,/= END INIT IVTV/p' </var/log/messages | more And I got no instances of unknown card type or firmware errors. The only thing I keep seeing is that tuner type not set message. Anyone able to help would be greatly appreciated. |

Sounds like ivtv is detecting the wrong tuner type for your card. Please post the entire output from the sed script for us to see. If your pvr-500 has new unknown tuners you might have to wait until the ivtv developers update the driver. Plug the cable feed you are using for your pvr-500 directly into your TV. This should allow you to see what channels the pvr-500 will be able to tune. Some cable companies are moving more and more channels to digital which the pvr-500 wont be able to tune. |

The troubleshooting page I pointed you tells you how to deal with the "Type 4" and the resulting "tuner type not set" issues. The PVR-500 is an MCE card. See the second topic on this page: http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=TVCaptureCards |
