[mythtv-users] PVR-500 driving me nuts

Sun Jul 24 19:56:36 EDT 2005

Hi,

I get nothing but static on both tuners.  I'm running FC4, and ivtv 3.6 from
atrpms testing.  I tried replacing the firmware to the one on the Happaugge
cd, as per the instructions here:
http://ivtv.writeme.ch/tiki-index.php?page=PVR150-500Firmware.  Also, I
don't know if this is related, but ivtv doesn't automatically start on
bootup.  I haveto do "modpobe ivtv".

Here's my modprobe.conf:

alias eth0 sk98lin

alias scsi_hostadapter sata_sil

# nForce sound configuration

alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0

options snd-card-0 index=0

options snd-intel8x0 index=0

install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-intel8x0 &&
/usr/sbin/a

lsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :

remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store  >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; };
/sbin/m

odprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0

# end nForce sound configuration

alias usb-controller ehci-hcd

alias usb-controller1 ohci-hcd

alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394

alias scsi_hostadapter1 sata_nv

# nvidia kernel module

alias char-major-195 nvidia-1_0-7667

alias nvidia nvidia-1_0-7667

# ivtv (PVR-500MCE)

alias char-major-81 videodev

alias char-major-81-0 ivtv

alias char-major-81-1 ivtv

alias tveeprom tveeprom-ivtv

alias tuner tuner-ivtv

alias msp3400 msp3400-ivtv

options cx25840 no_black_magic=1

And here's the dmesg output:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
