[mythtv-users] All Kinds of Setup Problems

I did use Jarod's guide...and it was very helpful...

Here's the output from '/usr/lib/ivtv/test_ioctl -a'

To start, if you aren't already, use Jarod's setup guide:
http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/

1) I know he mentions how to save sound levels.
2) For input 4, (tuner? / composite?), have you verified that there is
any
actually input signal available on the wire?  What does
'/usr/lib/ivtv/test_ioctl -a' say is at input 4?
3) You can safely ignore this message, search the archives for
additional
information
