Hello there, I hope someone can help me sort through this problem I got with a new Wintv PVR-150.

Background: Turning an old system into a PVR, bought 2 new 150 Capture cards. One was a MCE Kit, which included usb irblaster, remote and transmitter, and the other I chose as 150MCE oem since I don't need more ir stuff.

The oem one I received was a model 26582 and works nicely.
The kit one is a 26552 with FM, and does not work right at all, and gives various unknown command errors.

Using Knoppmyth R5D1.

The obligatory ivtv dmesg's:

[/code]

Detected card model is exactly right, I don't know enough about tuner models to know if that is correct.

Attempting to cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg or just mplayer /dev/video0 gives 0 bytes, and a whole lot of nothing, but put some more errors into the logs.

I have tried forcing it to tuner=50 as described in many places and it does not improve the situation.

Any help or directions are welcomed!

*Edit* - I've taken out the working card while I get to the bottom of this, so no extra ivtv stuff to sort through.
