For the life of me this card would not work with any of the drivers I could find. PVR-250 980 Chip: CX23416 Info from lspci: 0000:01:06.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc iTVC16 (CX23416) MPEG-2 Encoder (rev 01) ivtv v. 0.1.9 did not work at all. I got 1 channel on 2-6 (ABC Family, so I got to see full house will troubleshooting ). I tried 0.3.3rc and 0.3.7 which worked, but with debug set at 0 and 1 it filled the logs with IRQ conflicts and / was quickly at 100% full if I used the TV. Using ivtv-0.2.0-rc3j it will work with the following config flawlessly: Code: alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c options ivtv ivtv_debug=1 tda9887=0 cardtype=1 options tuner type=39 options msp3400 once=1 simple=1 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 tveeprom still is not detecting the card properly, but cardtype=1 defines it, so I seem to have no issues there. Just though I would add this as previous solutions did not work for me. EDIT: It is working great with ONLY tuner=39 passed as an option. I have since tried the new 0.3 snapshot and it is still giving me issues. None of the versions are autodetecting (tveeprom or ivtv). However, specifying the options manually works great. |

You need to become root, usually by using the "su" command: Code: su - and entering the root password. Then you should be able to edit /etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv appropriately.
BTW - DO NOT DO THIS BLINDLY!!! If the driver isn't detecting your card type you probably need a new driver. Setting the type to 39 will NOT work if you have a different tuner chip on your card. Also just because the cards are the same model DOES NOT mean they have the same tuner type! |
