[mythtv-users] Black and White Capture with VStream XPert

[Gee, David]

Which driver are you using? 
 
If you're using ivtv, there's a mention on Jarod Wilson's Fedora/ivtv/mythtv
tutorial for PAL/SECAM users (the UK is PAL) if you get only black and
white: try putting the following in /etc/modprobe.conf and reloading ivtv:
 
 options ivtv tda9887=0
 
I haven't found this necessary for my PAL PVR 150, but it might work for
you. Worth a shot, at any rate.
 
The full tutorial I referred to is available here:

David

Hi,

I've just bought a Tevion DVB-T 100 which is actually a rebranded VStream
XPert card. It works really well, I just put the card in, booted Fedora Core
5, and all the devices were created first time. It also has an analogue
capture card, and has created /dev/video0. I'm trying to configure the card
to use the Composite video input. I'm in the UK and the image is always
black and white. I've tried all the different picture standards in the
channel setup screen (and using tvtime), but I can't get the colour working.


Does anybody know what the problem is?

Thanks,

Jonny
