<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">rmmod video-buf.ko</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">and then I remove all instances of the
modules:</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">find /lib/modules -name btcx-risc.ko

<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">find /lib/modules -name video-buf.ko

<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Then I make sure the drivers in the
cx8800 directory are remade:</font>

<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">make</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">make install</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">After the make install you should see
that the cx8800 driver loades with no problems (check dmesg)</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Then load the ivtv drivers.</font>

Would you be able to give a bit more information on<br>
how you got your PVR/PCHDTV combination to work?<br>
<br>
First, the pcHDTV website is confusing.<br>
Which download?<br>
Under the bullet 'Full Upgraded Software?<br>
Or under the bullet 'Latest V4L-hd Driver?<br>
<br>
You say you have 2 PVR250s, yet the modules.conf<br>
shows entries for 3, doesn't it? (Mine is called modprobe.conf.)<br>
<br>
It would help a lot to know the list of modules related<br>
to the PCHDTV driver that have to be deleted, especially<br>
since it seems to me that some of the IVTV modules have<br>
the same name(s) as the PCHDTV modules. It is SO hard<br>
to figure out which software to install, I have never gotten<br>
past that point.<br>
<br>
I don't even look at the HD-3000 boxes anymore because<br>
I just get so depressed reading about how others have got<br>
their machines recording HDTV, and I can't figure out how to<br>
clean up the mess I've made trying to install the PCHDTV<br>
software. Jarod's HOWTO has just made it too easy to get<br>
something working without knowing what I'm doing. <br>
<br>
OH - how I wish there were a HOWTO such as Jarod's<br>
for the PVR/PCHDTV combinations, specifically a PVR-350<br>
with one or more HD-3000s.<br>
<br>
Thanks, if you can provide any more information about<br>
what you did to get your combination working.<br>
