Hi there,
I've spent three days and nights trying to get my setup to work and
afaik it is working, or at least was. Now here goes my efforts.
Background
Swede using PAL-G, Europe-west
Hardware
Intel P3 700 Mhz
512 mb
nVidia GeForce 2 MX-440
Hauppauge PVR-350
All this running Gentoo Linux 2.6.10-r4 with Nvidia-kernel 6111
I've been following two guieds trying to setup MythTV, the one on
gentoo-wiki.com and this one:
http://home.comcast.net/~alf_park/mythtv.html
After completing the setup I didn't run into any direct problems, the
screen is getting static. (Black screen with white dots in it) So I
figured I got reception but that I couldn't tune into any channel. So I
begun chasing info on the Internet. Found a lot of different sayings.
Worth a note is that: 1) ALSA is working ok 2) TV-Out on my nVidia-card
is working as well as trough /dev/video16 (ivtv-fb)
I haven't got all frequencies for my channels but I got hold on a few
freqs and started testing, some said I should use the E5, some the freq
as kHz, someone said multiply with 16 and so on.
I also begun doubting the setup in my /etc/modules.conf and fiddled
around a little there.
I also installed xawtv since someone said I could get hold of
frequencies through scantv that's included. I tried it but it doesn't
let me specify an input device but it selects 'television' when I want
'Tuner 0'. I've realised that there has been others with the same
problem on this list but there hasn't been any clear answers.
I've also installed xine and tested running that since someone suggested
that the tuner/tvout wasn't XV-compatible. Xine can play a mpeg I
captured from /dev/video0.
So after a lot of changing config I decided myself for a reconfig. I
dropped the database and did a re-setup. Now am I only getting thrown
back out to mythfrontends menu.
So I took out the card, put it in a box with MS Windows, installed
Hauppauges boxed software, made it autoscan and voilą it worked. So the
card is not broken.
---
Conclusions
I think all my tampering has left me with some errors. So I'm looking at
a complete re-install to get this working, unless you can help me. I'd
be very greatfull to any help you can offer!
Configs and errors below. Let me know if you need more facts.
TIA!
