[mythtv-users] OT: Ivtv questions

[ou812 at comcast.net]

I had some quality issues as well and it end up that I did not have the correct tuner type.

so try:

modprobe tveeprom
  dmesg | tail -20

My dmesg looked like this:
  tvee: Hauppauge: model=32032, rev=B326
  tvee: tuner=Temic 4036FY5 (idx=26, type=8)
  tvee: tuner fmt=NTSC(M) (eeprom=0x08, v4l2=0x00001000)
  tvee: audio_processor=MSP3440 (type=11)

Tuner line shows type=8, so that's what I used:
   modprobe tuner type=8

here is my modprobe.conf file

alias char-major-61-* lirc_i2c
alias char-major-81-* videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
options ivtv ivtv_debug=1
options tuner type=8
options saa7127 enable_output=1 output_select=0 pal=1
options msp3400 once=1 simple=1
install ivtv { /sbin/modprobe msp3400; /sbin/modprobe saa7115; /sbin/modprobe tuner; } ; /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install ivtv && { /sbin/modprobe lirc_dev; /sbin/modprobe lirc_i2c; /bin/true; }
remove ivtv { /sbin/modprobe -r lirc_dev; /sbin/modprobe -r lirc_i2c; } ; /sbin/modprobe -r --first-time --ignore-remove ivtv && { /sbin/modprobe -r msp3400; /sbin/modprobe -r saa7115; /sbin/modprobe -r tuner; /bin/true; }


Good luck
