I had a working stable knoppmyth setup using a clean install of R5B7 with two one year old pvr-250 cards on an nforce2/athlon XP-m. I just added a brand new PVR-500 card to the system. Now, after rerunning mythtv-setup to add the two new tuners to mythtv, the original tuners still work fine, and the two additional ones provided by the pvr-500 just show static.

I've tried searching the forums on this topic for quite a while, but I haven't found anything that seems to be related to my issue enough to help me out. I'm hoping you will have some advice for me to get me unstuck.

Here is what I know of my situation:

I successfully followed the steps for compiling ivtv mentioned on http://knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=CompileIvtv hoping that it would solve my issue. It hasn't, but I am now running on 0.4.4.

I did verify that my coax into the pvr-500 was connected to tv in, and did actually work on a pvr-250.

I am concerned about the "tuner 5-0061: tuner type not set" type lines when the pvr-500 is being initialzied, but I'm obviously not sure what to do about it.

I have tried to take mythtv out of the picture by viewing video from my pvr-250s and 500 via mplayer like: mplayer /dev/video2 . A video pops up as expected. On the pvr-250s I get a channel, on the 500s, I get static. The mplayer logs don't indicate an issue when playing the streams.

One thing that I have noticed that I think may be odd is that in mythtv-setup, when configuring the capture cards, the "Default input" for the 250 cards is "Tuner 0", while it is just "Tuner" for the 500 card tuners.

Here is the IVTV initializing on my system starting with the two 250s, and then the 500s.

Code:

Ok, I've made some signifigant progress. I started searching for issues with PVR-150 cards and noticed somewhere that someone was stringing tuner types together in the modules/ivtv file.

I edited /etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv and put in:

Code:

options ivtv tuner=39,39,50,50

Below the commented out options lines, and now I have a picture on all the tuners.

The 39s represent the type for the two 250 cards in my system, and the 50s represent what people are supposed to put in for the 150s.

So, everything is good except the first tuner of the 500 has horrible sound. It is quieter than it should be, it sounds tinny, and there is a loud buzzing too. The second tuner in the 500 sounds great though.

I still need to do some research on this..

Given how those tuners are identified it might be worth trying type 4 too...

I did (just now) set the last two tuner options to 4 and rebooted, and the ivtv info says that the tuner type is not set for the pvr-500 ones.

So, to me it looks like ivtv isn't auto identifying my 500 card correctly and that is probably causing the issue. <shrug>

Thanks for the suggestion.
