Hello
You correctly identified the issue, it is a new LG electronics tuner I believe. Did a little reseach on the web and found the following link
http://www.poptix.net/ivtv/Sep-2004/msg00211.html
Basically it mentions changing the card type in IVTV
I'd recommend that you recompile IVTV and edit to change the following
options ivtv card=85 type=39
options ivtv tuner=39
These steps are courtesty of TazzyTazzy, XSecrets, and Cesman
You can find a new version of IVTV here
http://67.18.1.101/~ckennedy/ivtv/
These directions are for ivtv-0.1.10-pre2-ck106u.tgz but you will need something newer since the Tuner was not supported until just recently by IVTV.
1) cd /usr/src
2) tar xvfj linux-2.4.25-chw.tar.bz2
3) cd /usr/local/lib/ivtv/
4) mv driver/ driver.old
5) Download the ivtv 106u version to something like /usr/local/src/
6) Extract it (tar zxvf ivtv-0.1.10-pre2-ck106u.tgz)
6) go inside the ivtv download folder you just untar'd
7) copy the driver folder cp -a driver/ /usr/local/lib/ivtv/
cd /usr/local/lib/ivtv/driver/
9) make clean
10) make install
11) if you get a warning, about deleting the msp3400.0 file, do it...or just rename it with something like:
mv /lib/modules/2.4.25-chw/kernel/drivers/media/video/msp3400.o
/lib/modules/2.4.25-chw/kernel/drivers/media/video/msp3400.o.old
12) vi /etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv
- I forget the actual contents. But it's something like (i'll try to edit this post tonight after I look it up).
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c
options ivtv card=85 type=39
options tuner type=39
options msp3400 once=1 simple=1
add below ivtv msp3400 saa7115 tuner
add above ivtv lirc_dev lirc_i2c
13) update-modules
14) depmod
15) reboot. Do <ctrl><alt><f1> and log back in as root.
16) lsmod | grep ivtv
You should see about three lines. If so, goto step 19. IF you don't, do "modprobe ivtv | less"
Carefully look for any errors. Take your time and go line-by line. Look for anything that says undefined, or unknown. Look for type 85 card. Maybe unknown id's of 0016, 4009, etc. I can't stress this enough. Carefully read that output line by line.
17) lsmod | grep ivtv
1 If you see three lines, your good to go Goto step 19
19) Flip back to mythtv <Ctrl-alt-f7>. Try the tuner. If it works.
20) Reboot regardless if it worked or not.
21) If it worked before rebooting, and now it doesn't add a line to
/etc/modules with a line "ivtv" by itself. I'm not sure of the placement yet. I have mine on the bottom. I get a few warnings on boot, but it works. Can maybe move this up some.
22) If never worked before that reboot. Sorry, i don't know. I'm a noobie.
Some suggestions: Try an ivtv driver later than 106u - that was the driver released the day i setup my box. It appears a new driver is released every day.
Good Luck
