I have a PVR-250, and I know that that it's of type 4, and I know that I need to pass the 'options ivtv' stuff to set it to type 4.
I know this becuase I just did this last night, but I was playing around with some stuff and long story short, I blew away the system.
I found some lonely post last night (that I forgot to bookmark of coruse) that said setting the option setting in /etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv didn't work for him, and he set it in some other place. I think /etc/modules.conf?!
Anyway, no matter how I set this line:
options tuner type=4
or
options ivtv tuner=4
etc...
I always get:
Sep 7 19:11:10 mythtv kernel: tuner 2-0061: tuner type not set
How can I be sure that ivtv is using these options when it loads? This is a fresh RD51 install.

See the possible issue notes at the end of this posting: http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=11293
BTW - You really should NOT have to do this for a PVR-250. Please see the CheckingLogFiles page of the wiki and post your ivtv extract so we can help you look into this.

That does look like the thread I was reading last night, trying it in /etc/modprobe.conf now.
EDIT: Ok, yep. I was right about it not working from /etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv but I was wrong about my type. I had to set it to type 50.
Quote: - The ivtv 0.7.0 drivers apparently don't like certain PVR-150 cards with the TCL M2523_*_E tuner chips. This appears to be a deficiency in the v4l tveeprom.c in the 2.6.17 kernel. Some people have reported success using the module options to force the tuner type. To do this put
Code:
options ivtv tuner=50
in /etc/modprobe.conf for the M2523_5N_E, for the M2523_3DB_E use type 55. A better solution is still being investigated.
But I have a 250. *shrug* Another chipset change?

Looks like it. So far we'd only seen that puppy on PVR-150 cards. I'll go back and change the write up to cover your case.
BTW - Tuner type 4 is always bad. It means "no tuner found" or "unsupported tuner found". I can't think of any good reason you would ever want to set that manually.

I went back to verify if I was just an idiot by using type=4. I am still unable to load this option from /etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv using type=50
Anything I can look into to figure out why, or do the devs pretty much know and waiting for next patch kinda thing?
Thanks.

Double check that you didn't do something funky to the file. All the lines end with a LF and just a LF (you edited it with a native editor instead of with some MS-Windows utility like Wordpad), you didn't get the syntax wrong or anything like that.... You rebooted or rmmod and modprobed to get it to reload the ivtv module...
You could always post the file here to get another set of eyes on it.

I had this same problem. I set the type=55 and it worked for me. Well one of my two 250s work, the second one still doesn't work so I'm not sure whether the setting isn't being applied to it or there's something else wrong.

If they both have the same tuner chip try, "55,55" (one setting for each card).
