<DIV><SPAN class=078504419-04082004><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well I finally found
the end of my tether ;-)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=078504419-04082004><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a Fedora 1
box running Myth courtesy of ATRPMS and "THE Guide". I would like to connect my
Sky DigiBox (sat receiver) to my PVR-250 composite input so I can use it as an
external tuner.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=078504419-04082004><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a scart to
composite + 2 audio cable and a 2 audio to jack converter. I have tested the
cable by plugging it into the sat box and the A/V inputs on my TV and it works
fine.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=078504419-04082004><FONT face=Arial size=2>However, when I plug
the cable into the PVR-250 I get sound but no video just a black
screen.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=078504419-04082004><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've used test_ioctl
-p to set the input to every setting between 0 and 9 and done the cat /dev/video
test and I simply cannot get any video at all. I've tried to set it up within
Myth and again get audio and (strangely) a small blue flash followed by
blackness.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=078504419-04082004><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've searched the
archives, tried the latest firmware, pulled my hair out, tried SVideo (which I
can get a black and white picture out of, but that may be the box as I see black
and white if I plug the SVid directly into the TV) and praying to several
deities. None of this has produced a picture.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Factor, which started high has now hit an all time low as I was unable to record
her favourite program last night :( </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=078504419-04082004><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've had the tuner
input (RF) working fine but I have a problem with the audio (crackling
intermittently) which I'm putting down to a pretty poor antenna so it's
important to get the Sky box working.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

much appreciated.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
