Greetings,

I originally posted this on the ivtv-devel list but there's not much
activity there so I decided to try here.

I just purchased some new hardware and am building a MythTV box based on
Jarod Wilson's HOWTO at http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/fcmyth.php.  I've gotten
to the portion of the HOWTO, after installing the ivtv stuff using apt-get,
where I send a test signal to the TV-Out of the PVR-350.  When I do that all
I see on the TV is snow.  I moved on to the next step to see if I could
record and view the signal coming in on my cable line into the FM connector
and again all I got was snow.

After digging around a bit on Google I found http://ivtv.no-ip.com and read
the part about checking the tuner version on the newer cards...in case I
needed to patch for a new tuner.  I checked mine and it is "47", and the
drivers and kernel versions that got pulled down from apt-get seem to
recognize it just fine.  So I'm not sure I need the patch.

I'm running Fedora Core 3 with the 2.6.9-1.681_FC3 kernel.

Anyway...I'm wondering where to go from here.  I'm much more comfortable
using and compiling things on OpenBSD (great for firewalls, not so great for
MythTV).  I've not used linux much but I imagine once I get used to where
everything is I'll be alright.  I'm just not sure where to start to try and
resolve this.

Do I need to be on a certain channel on the TV to see the test pattern?  I
tried flipping around some but never saw it.  Do I need to set something on
the PVR-350 that tells it to output to channel 3 for example?

I'm posting the INIT IVTV section from the messages log.  Any help or
suggestions?

Thanks,
Matt
