I just finished setting up a PVR-500 on my gentoo system, so maybe I
can provide some help. This doesn't look right:
tuner 1-0061: type set to 68 (Philips TUV1236D ATSC/NTSC dual in)
Type 68 should be a Samsung tuner, it looks like this on mine:
tuner: type set to 68 (Samsung TCPN 2121P30A)
There's a patch detailed in the myth wiki that needs to be applied to
0.4.2 to support the Samsung tuners: (http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/
index.php/Hauppauge_PVR-500). I looked in the Gentoo ebuild for
ivtv, and no patch seems to be applied as part of the process. I
hand compiled the mercurial version to make the tuner work with my
HD-3000 card as well, so I can't help you a lot with the portage
version.
There's always the possibility that you don't have a Samsung tuner at
all, and you're just setting it to the wrong value. I don't pass any
parameters to my modules, and they all load up and behave fine for me.
Hope this helps you out a little.
