Post subject:  Pink and Green problem
I've got the pink and green problem. Typing in the line
Code:
ivtvctl -j reg=0x6c,val=0xfa -d /dev/video16

fixes it. The only problem is I can't get it to execute that code every time I boot up.

Some other posts have said add a post-install line to your ivtv file and it will work, but every time I do that I can see errors flying by the screen on bootup saying something along the lines of the line with "post-install" has an error, ignoring.

This is what I'm typing

Code:
post-install ivtv /usr/local/bin/ivtvctl -j reg=0x6c,val=0xfa -d /dev/video16


How do I fix this?

I manged to figure this out.

Code:
dmesg | grep tuner

On my machine that returns Tuner 47

Login as root. Modify /etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv
Change the tuner from 2 to 47

Change
Code:

install ivtv /sbin/modprobe tuner; /sbin/modprobe msp3400; /sbin/modprobe saa7115;  /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install  ivtv
remove ivtv /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove ivtv && /sbin/modprobe -r saa7115 && /sbin/modprobe -r msp3400 && /sbin/modprobe -r tuner

to
Code:
install ivtv /sbin/modprobe tuner; /sbin/modprobe msp3400; /sbin/modprobe saa7115;  /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install  ivtv; /sbin/modprobe ivtv-fb
remove ivtv /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove ivtv && /sbin/modprobe -r saa7115 && /sbin/modprobe -r msp3400 && /sbin/modprobe -r tuner && /sbin/modprobe -r ivtv-fb



Update the ivtv drivers:
Code:
cd /tmp
wget http://membres.lycos.fr/badzzzz/ivtvdev_drv.o.gz
gunzip ivtvdev_drv.o.gz
cp ivtvdev_drv.o /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/


Then I ran
Code:
update-modules

I don't know what it does but it is in a few docs on this web site.
That got the TV working on the monitor after I rebooted.

To get a picture on the TV I had to do this:

Code:
cd /etc/X11/
cp XF86Config-4 XF86Config-4.orig
cp xf86config-4.pvr350-tvout.sample XF86Config-4


Code:
spci | grep -i itv


Returned this line:
0000:02:0c.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc iTVC15 MPEG-2 Encoder (rev 01)

Edit XF86Config-4
Changed "Mouse0" to "USB Mouse"
Scroll down to the "Device" section which lists the Hauppauge 350. Change the Driver line to read
Code:
Driver "ivtvdrv"

On the BusID line I took the 0C from the spci line and entered it in there...

Code:
BusID "0:0x0C:0"


As far as I understand it, that points the computer to the right slot on your motherboard.

When I rebooted, I now had a Green & Pink screen

Typing this on the command line fixed it
Code:
ivtvctl -j reg=0x6c,val=0xfa -d /dev/video16


But I couldn't get it to stick. I eventually found a place to put it. I have no idea if it's a good place, but it worked.

In /etc/init.d there is a file called set_ivtv_params
I made a backup of it and then edited it.

Just under the loop (Where it says done) I placed the line

Code:
done
$IVTVCTL -j reg=0x6c,val=0xfa -d /dev/video16
;;

saved and exited.
When I rebooted, it worked on the RCA cables. I'm sure I can add
Code:
$IVTVCTL -j reg=0x2d,val=0x38 -d /dev/video16

to get the SVideo working too (I just can't find my cable at the moment to test).

Anyways, so that's it. Thank you to everyone who tried to help me.
