I am building a PVR with a Hauppauge PVR-350, Mandrake 10.1, Maiku's guide
(http://www.byopvr.com/Sections+index-req-viewarticle-artid-13-page-1.html).

Everything is installed/compiled and configured, but when I try to watch
TV or record
something, all I ever get is static (even using the cat /dev/video0 >
test.mpg).  Every
channel is the

same...just static.  Watching videos (from other sources) play just fine
in both mplayer
and mythtv.

I've checked, rechecked, and triple checked all of the settings in
mythtvsetup.  Nothing
changes anything.

Instead of adding stuff to modules.conf, I followed the guide and added
the following to
the /usr/local/bin/start-ivtv script:

/sbin/modprobe i2c-core
/sbin/modprobe i2c-algo-bit
/sbin/modprobe tuner type=47
/sbin/modprobe msp3400
/sbin/modprobe videodev
/sbin/modprobe saa7115
/sbin/modprobe ivtv
/sbin/modprobe lirc_i2c
/usr/local/sbin/lircd -d /dev/lirc0 --permission=666
/etc/init.d/mythbackend start

ivtv info from /var/log/messages:

====================

I had everything running fine (tv was visible) with a different
motherboard, but changed
from a ATX-->mini-ATX to fit this in a smaller case.  Formated and
reinstalled with the
new motherboard,

but have never had any luck getting the tv to work.

Cable does work (checked it with a tv).

Getting frustrated as I had this working; I'm out of ideas of what to check.

Checked this mailing list for similiar problems, but nothing mentioned in
any of them
seem to fix my problems.  I actually don't see any problems in any
logs/files, which
makes fixing this that

much harder.

Any help would be appriciated.
