Post subject:  PVR-150, please help

Hi!

I have followed instructions from:
http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=HauppaugeOneFiftyInstallation

Dowloaded and compiled latest ivtv drivers without success..
I see only noise in mythtv for about 1 second and than pictures freezes.

I have also tryed tune channel manually and without success.
Anyway my card is model 1051 PAL.

Card is only detected propery (at least I think) when machine is cold booted, when rebooted card is detected as PVR-250.

See ivtv from dmesg

Code:
root@mythtv:~# dmesg |grep ivtv
tveeprom: ivtv version
tveeprom: ivtv version
msp34xx: ivtv version

Few things I don't understand
1.) Where to put (I have tryed in "/etc/modules.conf")
Code:
echo Loading IVTV drivers.
echo Unloading eeprom
rmmod eeprom
sleep 1
echo Loading tveeprom
modprobe tveeprom
sleep 1
echo Loading videodev
modprobe videodev
sleep 1
echo Loading cx25840
modprobe cx25840 i2c_enable=1
echo Loading tuner
modprobe tuner
sleep 1
echo Loading wm8775
modprobe wm8775
sleep 1
echo Loading ivtv
modprobe ivtv


2.) What exactly should go in "/etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv" ?
I have plain PVR-150 not MCE version.

I also have plain BT878 card as /dev/video0

Is it even possible that PVR-150 can be autodetected correctly ?

Thank you for all the help, im loosing sleep over this ..

Have you tried installing the recommended version of the firmware mentioned in this message? For more info see:

Post subject:  update ...

Thanks tjc but I have tried different firmwares and result was same.

Anyway late last night i have managed to manually tune chanel
and use mplayer to see feed from /dev/video1

Now the real question is why mythtv is unable to correctly tune to requested channel.
