I've seen tons of postings on the web and this site talking about this card and who has got it to work. I've looked all over tried almost everything ... I've been able to get the tuner set to NTSC but i still get a green screen and static..... I went out and bought a WINTV PVR 150 and it works great but I really want to use the VE as a secondary card so I can either record 2 shows or watch and record.... Can anyone help me?

What I did is this (as root):

find out which /etc/mythtv/modules/bttv file is being included with

$modprobe -c | grep "bttv"

You may also want to confirm ivtv is in there with

$modprobe -c | grep "ivtv"

You may want to post your results so other can confirm what your kernel is seeing. Odds are the card is misconfigured as it often detects the tuner=19 which a PAL tuner and is totally wrong for US NTSC reception. You can confirm with:

$dmesg | less

if you already have a PVR-150 which is ivtv0, then odds are the ATI TV Wonder VE is bttv1. Knowing that do:

$echo "alias char-major-81-1 bttv" >>/etc/mythtv/modules/bttv1
$echo "options bttv card=64 radio=0 tuner=2" >> /etc/mythtv/modules/bttv1

note: the "1"s depend on which card is detected, if it is 0 or 2, update accordingly.

Thanks!

Andrew Lynch

bttv0: PLL can sleep, using XTAL (38636363)

That is a normal message for the bttv driver but it is not configured properly for your tuner.

You are running a PVR-150 right? All of the video devices have to be configured correctly with respect to each other.

You need to find the right mythtv configuration file and put in the proper module options so that the linux kernel can use the tuner correctly.

How about posting the results of your system to the following command

$modprobe -c | grep "bttv"

It would also be helpful to see the results of your kernel messages. Please post the results of this command to:

$dmesg

so we can see how your system is currently configured with respect to the bttv driver and the ivtv driver.

Thanks!

Andrew Lynch

Here ya go... Sorry it's talen so long... I really appreciate your help

Well, it looks like you have the proper module options in the right places. Have you ever seen your ATI TV Wonder VE working under linux and/or KnoppMyth?

I'd recommend pulling the PVR-150 and see if you can get it work with only a single tuner using the ATI TV Wonder VE. Move the configuration info to /etc/mythtv/modules/bttv0.

Thanks!

Andrew Lynch

Also check:

Is the tuning source cable (from CATV/antenna) attached?
Is the tuner set up properly in mythtv-setup? (step #2)
Is the tuner attached to the tuning source (television -> cable) (step #4)

What you are describing is a "failure to tune" situation. Something is preventing the signal from getting to or out of the tuner card.

Thanks!

Andrew Lynch

thanks Andrew,

yeah I have actually tried it without the 150 card (that's actually why I bought it....) and it has never worked.... I has worked with XP/2000
Unfortunatly Everything else is good....

Wow, that is a weird one. Try "pci=routeirq" as a kernel parameter on boot. Just add to the GRUB or LILO boot parameter list.

The kernel claims the PCI card has irq 18 assigned to it but the kernel is reporting that irq disabled.

Please try posting the results of

$lspci -vv

Lets see what the PCI bus is thinking about the card

I know ATI TV Wonder VE works in Linux because I have one myself and it is the first tuner card I tested successfully with AMICUS. The card works, but I suspect there is some incompatibility with your motherboard. That is not a fact, just a hunch.

Thanks!

Andrew Lynch

Here is what I got fromthe iscp command after I put in the lilo command
Once again thanks for your time

Wow, it looks right. I do not understand. The ATI TV Wonder VE is a simple BT878 tuner. Normally, it is just a matter of setting the module options correctly, hooking it up, and it works.

I am sorry, I do not know why it is not working. Maybe some of the other experts on this forum could give it a try. Maybe it is something simple I am overlooking.

Have you tried moving it into different PCI slots? Sometimes that makes a difference. Try the slot closest to the video card.

You may want to experiment with different MB settings like turning off ACPI or maybe the LAPIC. Be sure to write down your original settings first though!

Thanks and good luck!

Being a Linux newb, I hope I may ask a question that I thought of while reading this: Is KnoppMyth a PnP OS? ie - have you tried setting the IRQ's manually in the bios or resetting the configuration data?

Thanks Andrew.... I really appricate your time....

You may also want to consider reviewing your motherboard BIOS options to make sure there is no sharing of IRQs or any IRQ or PCI related options you could tweak. Maybe something will let go and then it will work.

I do recall reading that ATI TV Wonder VEs do not like sharing IRQs so if that is happening it may be a factor.

Thanks!
