I'm having difficulty getting my pvr-350 to record. When I initially upgraded, mythtv-setup had it set to video0/television. At that point I couldn't get it to do anything. After getting a little advice, I discovered that the setting I needed was video1/tuner0. At that point I got livetv, but it still wouldn't record.
Poking through the logs I discoverd that it was still trying to set the channel on the television input. Can anyone help me interpret that info into a fix?

- Run mythtv-setup (search for details on shutting down the backend, etc., etc.)
- Under Capture Cards, delete all your capture cards
- Same place, recreate the entry for your PVR-350 as MPEG2 Tuner card, /dev/video0, Tuner 0
- Recreate the Input Connection from "/dev/video0 Tuner 0" to your Video Source
- Exit mythtv-setup and reboot.

That was strange. When I went in there again, it had created a new television setting under video1, which obviously wasn't working.
Deleting the cards and starting over, I still wasn't able to do video0. It had only 3 possible tuners 1 composite, 1 s-video and 1 television. So I moved on to video1. It had the proper tuners, so I grabbed tuner0 there.
Now it seems to be working. If the television tuner shows up again, I'll let you know. In the meantime, thanks.

Run this command and post the output for any device that says "Multimedia":
Code: lspci -v Also: Code: ivtvctl -d /dev/video0 -a
ivtvctl -d /dev/video1 -a
You haven't got an HD3000 or the like in the system being misrecognized as a bttv device have you?

lspci -v reveals 3 multimedia controllers
The first is the the 350
The second is Conexant Winfast TV2000 XP (rev 05)
The third is Conexant Unknown Device 8802 (rev 05)
I'm guessing that it is my HD3000 card showing up twice once for the dvb side and once for the analog side. I was guessing that was what was happening with the video0 as well, that it was picking up the analog of the hd3000.
the ivtvctl commands
The video0 says that this is not an ivtv device
The video1 gives me the info you would expect
So I guess I'll stick with video1 as it now seems to be working.
The odd thing was that I did exactly what you said above before I wrote and it still reverted to the television setting under the video1 setting. Now however, it seems to be working properly. At least I've gotten two recordings this way.
So I'll just say thanks and hope that the proper settings stick.

I wouldn't have said to use -v if I just wanted the summaries. 
I'm pretty sure your problem is indeed the HD3000's YUV capture interface. It's almost a misfeature on that card. The only concern I would have is the stability of the device numbers, which should be OK if nothing else changes. I'm more and more glad that my HD-3000 is sitting in a cardboard box waiting for some way to get a decent OTA or QAM signal to it.

Yep, solid verification. Note that those are both the same PCI card, since only the last octect is different.
