[mythtv-users] PVR250 Sound but Video is messed

[Terrence Martin]

So I installed my PVR250 last night. Probably too late actually. Not 
generally a good idea to do hardware when you are tired, but oh well. :)

Things were a bit more complicated since there are plenty of example 
modules.conf files, but few modprobe.conf files on the web.

The problem I appear to be having is that when I run mplayer /dev/video1 
I get sound fine, but the picture is all crumpled up like an according 
at an angle. Like the picture is zigzaged across the screen. ptune 
allows me to change channels and I know they change because the audio 
changes appropriately.

I assume this is a tuner issue, but at least as far as I can tell from 
the dmesg output the tuner is being set correctly. I originally manually 
set it, with similar results. Audio, no clear picture.

tveeprom: Hauppauge: model = 32032, rev = B326, serial# = 7193077
tveeprom: tuner = Temic 4036FY5 (idx = 26, type = 8)
tveeprom: tuner fmt = NTSC(M) (eeprom = 0x08, v4l2 = 0x00001000)
tveeprom: audio_processor = MSP3440 (type = 11)

I am using the ATrpms.net FC2 ivtv packages.

kernel-module-ivtv-2.6.7-1.494.2.2-0.1.10-40_pre2_ck100m.rhfc2.at
ivtv-firmware-2.02.023-3.at
ivtv-0.1.10-40_pre2_ck100m.rhfc2.at

Here is my modeprobe.conf

alias char-major-81     videodev
alias char-major-81-0   ivtv
alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c
options ivtv debug=1
options tuner
options msp3400 once=1 simple=1

Here are my modprobe settings in rc.local

modprobe msp3400
modprobe videodev
modprobe saa7115
modprobe ivtv
modprobe tuner
ivtvctl -d /dev/video1 -u 0x3000 -p 4
ivtvctl -d /dev/video1 -f width=480,height=480
ivtvctl -d /dev/video1 -c bitrate=8000000,bitrate_peak=16000000
ivtvctl -d /dev/video1 --set-codec-params=dnr_mode=0,dnr_temporal=0
modprobe lirc_i2c

Of note is that all but the first ivtvctl line fails when run manually.

Any thoughts?
