Post subject:  PVR - 500 MCE 2005 Remote questions
Couple of questions.

Knoppmyth R5A16
P4 1.8 HP
PVR-500
Nvidia MX 440
768 MB


I followed this to set up my PVR - 500. The card appears to be setup correctly (ivtv output below), but when trying to view live tv I get a black screen and static for sound. I am using 2 dishnetwork 311 receivers svideo to the PVR - 500 and the attached header 1 card. So I configured the card as /dev/video0 and /dev/video1. inputs are set to Svideo0 and Svideo1. is that correct? and where should I be looking for debug information regarding tuner inputs? as an added bonus, I have tested this card with MCE 2005 and it works flawlessly. too bad MCE is such an inferior product. Not to mention that a p4 2.4 with 1 GB of ram had trouble recording and watching something else at the same time.

Next set of questions....

I also have a MCE 2005 MicroAntichristsoft remote. I followed the MCE 2004 installation found here. Step 12 says I should look for the following output in /var/log/messages

Code:
Jul 14 20:36:48 mythtv kernel: usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd address 2
Jul 14 20:36:48 mythtv kernel: lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, at major 61

All I see is this

Code:
  Jul 14 20:36:48 mythtv kernel: usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd address 2


am I not linking something correctly? or is there a difference between the 2004 and 2005 versions of the remote that I need to accomodate for? Also, during the install when I chose to use the I686 package as per the above pvr-500 walkthrough. I was never given the option to chose a USB remote.

well damn, I should have looked through that ivtv section before posting.
upon re-reading my post I noted

Code:
cx25840: decoder set input (6)
cx25840: Tuner Input
cx25840: set audio: 0x01


so I guess I need to make sure I have configured the inputs correctly.

something new...

I upgraded the IVTV drivers to 0.3.6 o and now attempting to watch live tv crashes and kicks me back to the main mythtv menu.

from /var/log/messages
Code:

I have no idea what this means. but I am going to keep digging :) If nothing else I have some new search terms!!

I'm having the same problems with a PVR-500. I switched from KnoppMyth to FedoraCore 3, and it solved many of the problems, but I still get pulsing static when I try to watch tv. At least it isn't freezing up anymore.

If you find anything out, please post it here. It seems like there are a ton of guys using 500 cards successfully, but they all seem to already know what they're doing, so they don't post how they did it!
