| Post subject: | Help with configuration for PVR-250 |
My setup: PVR-250, FX5200, R5A16. I am trying to get live tv working with a monitor before I switch to a real tv set. When I start live tv, I get blank screen (searched here but haven't been able to solve yet). I did a CNTRL-ALT-F1 and see the following lines repeatedly scrolling: decoder enable output decoder disable output set picture bright=xxx yada yda Does any know what these lines repeating mean? As far as I can tell I have the tuner set up properly, but I am not sure. I followed the steps in this thread: http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3827 grep -i "Tuner Type" /var/log/messages Code: Aug 5 13:40:47 mythtv kernel: ivtv: Tuner Type 0, Tuner formats 0x00001000, Rad io: yes, Model 0x008d1659, Revision 0x00000001 Aug 5 13:45:20 mythtv kernel: ivtv: Tuner Type 0, Tuner formats 0x00001000, Rad io: yes, Model 0x008d1659, Revision 0x00000001 Aug 5 13:54:48 mythtv kernel: ivtv: Tuner Type 0, Tuner formats 0x00001000, Rad io: yes, Model 0x008d1659, Revision 0x00000001 Aug 5 14:02:56 mythtv kernel: ivtv: Tuner Type 0, Tuner formats 0x00001000, Rad io: yes, Model 0x008d1659, Revision 0x00000001 Aug 5 14:06:39 mythtv kernel: ivtv: Tuner Type 0, Tuner formats 0x00001000, Rad io: yes, Model 0x008d1659, Revision 0x0000000 I entered 0 for options tuner type=0 in /etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv. Here is some of my messages log file which I think indicates that the card is being recognized: Code: Aug 5 14:06:39 mythtv kernel: ivtv: Encoder revision: 0x02040011 Aug 5 14:06:39 mythtv kernel: ivtv: Configuring WinTV PVR 250 card with 5 streams Aug 5 14:06:39 mythtv kernel: ivtv: Create DMA stream 0 using 256 16384 byte buffers 4194304 kbytes total Aug 5 14:06:39 mythtv kernel: ivtv: Registered v4l2 device, streamtype 0 minor 0 Aug 5 14:06:39 mythtv kernel: ivtv: Create DMA stream 1 Aug 5 14:06:39 mythtv kernel: ivtv: Registered v4l2 device, streamtype 1 minor 32 Aug 5 14:06:39 mythtv kernel: ivtv: Create stream 2 using 40 52224 byte buffers 2097152 kbytes total Aug 5 14:06:39 mythtv kernel: ivtv: Registered v4l2 device, streamtype 2 minor 224 Aug 5 14:06:39 mythtv kernel: ivtv: Create DMA stream 3 using 455 4608 byte buffers 2097152 kbytes total Aug 5 14:06:39 mythtv kernel: ivtv: Registered v4l2 device, streamtype 3 minor 24 Aug 5 14:06:39 mythtv kernel: ivtv: Create stream 4 Aug 5 14:06:39 mythtv kernel: ivtv: Registered v4l2 device, streamtype 4 minor 64 Aug 5 14:06:39 mythtv kernel: ivtv: Setting Tuner 0 Aug 5 14:06:39 mythtv kernel: ivtv: Setting audio matrix to input 3, output 1 Aug 5 14:06:39 mythtv kernel: ivtv: Switching standard to NTSC.

One of the things that is confusing to me is that some of the posts with problems with the PVR-250 are quite old, and I think the newer versions of KnoppMyth have better support for it, so I don't know if I need to go through the steps such as downloading the latest ivtv and recompiling it. Any help will be most appreciated. Thanks, Mike |
