[mythtv-users] PVR-150 users - how did you do it?

[Ryan Steffes]

It does appear to be mostly working now.  I'm testing it during
livetv, so I'm not sure how a recording will go, but I think I may
still be missing something.  The reason I say that is because, unlike
my bttv card, the pvr150 takes a noticeable amount of time, maybe 20
to 30 seconds, to start showing video when I swap to it with Y in Live
TV.  Also, it takes maybe 10 to 15 seconds to change channels.  I also
get the occasion prebuffering pause with the PVR150 that I don't get
with the bttv card.  Using almost identical modprobe settings:

alias char-major-81-0 bttv
options bttv radio=1 bttv_verbose=1 tuner=2 card=2 gbuffers=8
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-1 ivtv
options ivtv ivtv_debug=1 tda9887=0 ivtv_std=0
options saa7127 i2c_enable=-1
options cx25840 i2c_enable=1
options msp3400 debug=0 simple=1 simpler=0

remove snd-via82xx { /sbin/modprobe -r snd-pcm-oss; } ; /sbin/modprobe
-r --first-time --ignore-remove snd-via82xx
install ivtv /sbin/modprobe tuner; /sbin/modprobe msp3400;
/sbin/modprobe saa7115; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ivtv
remove ivtv /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove ivtv && /sbin/modprobe
-r saa7115 && /sbin/modprobe -r msp3400 && /sbin/modprobe -r tuner


Going to set it to record a show and see how it plays back, but the
livetv behavior concerns me.
