Post subject:  PVR250 - Model 981

Hi Folks.

1st:) Great work you've done here - Remote Control works out of the box and the installation is quite smooth - how to get an usual dvd running is a nice camouflage story here in the "pineapple" forum *g*

but: i do not get the damned tuner of my yesterday bought pvr-250 Model 981 - to run. xawtv shoes to me default-input composite 0 - and if i switch to tuner, i do not get anything. what's interested, the /var/kern.log says to me it is an NTSC Phillips tuner (type=2), but under winxp i got in my PAL-Country (germany) a clear picture. anyway ... the damned tuner will not show me any picture. please, i will not change it to mediaportal ;)

is there any kind of scanning mechanism to get this done ... or better ... has anyone an idea how to get model 981 working? should i install the new alpha version of knoppymyth?

thx so far.

michael

I don't know anything about the 981 model of pvr-250. I presume that it is an MCE card, one of the 'newer' models that do not have drivers out of the box from KnoppMyth. Going through the Wiki, you should find the source file ivtv-0.10-pre2-ck77b for an updated ivtv in /usr/local/lib, or you can go to http://ivtv.sourceforge.net/ for more options. There may very well be a better option with other versions of the drivers.

For the large percentage of people who have hardware already, this should not be needed.

You can also select what reception format (pal/ntsc) the card uses in the mythtv-setup program. I don't remember off hand exactly where that happens, however you should find it looking through the Wiki page on installing and setting up KnoppMyth. http://knoppmythwiki.homelinux.org/index.php?id=KnoppMythInstall

Good luck,

-Rusty
