[mythtv-users] PVR 350 livetv freeze

Hi all,

I am setting up a PVR350 and when I start live tv I get a few seconds of black and 
white tv with no audio and then black screen then back to mythmenu. I'm using Core 3 
and 0.3.3 k ivtv on a 2.6.11-1.27_FC3 kernel.

Mostly follwing the guide at wilsonnet to set this up using apt -

I'm using the 'recommened' firmware from the ivtv wiki - doing a firmware reload seems 
to go ok -

I believe the problem is the options given to my 350 but I am unsure.

I searched through the archives for some of the errors I am seeing with no success - 
some others had mentioned live tv freezing after a few seconds but no resolutions.

Any thoughts appreciated,

Edward
