| Post subject: | TV Static R5D1 with PVR-150 274 |
I was having a heck of a time getting an ATI TV-Wonder to work with audio so I ordered a PVR-150MCE from newegg. I put the card in and installed R5D1 everything was going well. However when I try to scan for channels MythTV doesn’t find any channels. So I skipped that and tried watching TV, but all I got was static. I tried searching the forum, but nothing that was recommended helped. I found out the card I got is a "PVR-150 274" so I tried searching for that and found nothing. Does this card work with ivtv yet? Thanks. |

I cannot get my tuner set Iv tried all the things mentioned such as setting the type manually although I cannot find specifically what type the PVR-150 274 should be set to, but for starters Iv tried 43,47,50,55, and some others I cannot remember right now. I also tried updating the IVTV software, but that didn’t work either I might have done something wrong with the update but I did follow the directions for my version exactly I don’t even know if that was necessary because I’m running R5D1. Has anyone gotten the PVR-150 274 working yet? |

Did you look at the logfiles? If you post the suggested extract we might be able to help you. |

Yes, it says tuner type not set even though I had manually put in the tuner type in the ivtv module file option ivtv tuner=# |

Did you read the TVCaptureCards page that tells you that needs to be in /etc/modprobe.conf in R5D1? Did you do the recommended upgrade to ivtv 0.7.1? |

Thanks for all your help. I have upgraded to 0.7.1, and it didnt help with autodetecting this card. So I tried manually setting it in the ivtv file using options ivtv tuner=50 as I said earlier. When I manually load the driver manually with the option it works! rmmod ivtv modprobe ivtv tuner=50 So how can I figure out where I should put the options, or is it being initialized incorrectly from the ivtv file? Iv already tried /etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv, and /etc/modprobe.d/ivtv without any luck. Thanks |

From the wiki page... http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=TVCaptureCards Quote: The usual cure is to find a tuner type which is "close enough" and force that setting in the appropriate config file. For older releases KnoppMyth releases that would be the /etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv file, for newer releases, like R5D1, it would be the /etc/modprobe.conf file. If the tuner chip model shown in your tveeprom message is TCL M2523_5N_E add something like this to the appropriate config file:
options ivtv tuner=50 If your tveeprom message indicates that you have a TCL M2523_3DB_E instread, set your tuner type to 55. Please, when we send you to a troubleshooting page, read it carefully, since there may be more than one section that applies, and follow all of the relevant links. Eviltwin even asked you specifically about that file. |

I have a PVR-500 dual tuner card with the Samsung tuner. My dmesg stated tuner type not set. So did the /var/log/messages. I have static when I try to view tv. I have tried the upgrade/compile to ivtv 0.7.1. I have tried to set the tuner type to type 50 in /etc/modprobe.conf. Now when I try to watch tv I get a black screen and after a minute or to I am returned to the Watch Tv, Medialibrary etc. menu screen. I run a R5D1 fresh install I had the same Hauppage PVR card working ok under R5C7 with after compiling ivtv. Any ideas to what next JK |

Hi all. Since my posting I have read about this kernel patch: [url]http://www.linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb?cmd=changeset;node=891566442352;style=gitweb[/url] The above patch is for PAL users. There is also a NTSC kernel patch at: [url]http://www.mail-archive.com/ivtv-users@ivtvdriver.org/msg03909.html[/url] Is this the right remedy at the present stage and has anybody tried it with R5D1? JK |
