<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><font size=3 color=navy
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:navy'>></span></font>I'm
still trying to get my PVR-500 working 100%. Right now, I can use
ptune.pl to <font color=navy><span style='color:navy'>></span></font>change
the channel, and then cat /dev/video0 > /tmp/test.mpg, and then play that in
<font color=navy><span style='color:navy'>></span></font><span class=SpellE>mplayer</span>.
Works like a charm. However, when I try to launch tvtime, I get the following:<br>
<font color=navy><span style='color:navy'>></span></font><br>
<font color=navy><span style='color:navy'>></span></font>Running <span
class=SpellE>tvtime</span> 0.9.15.<br>

Card failed to allocate capture buffers: Invalid argument<br>
<font color=navy><span style='color:navy'>></span></font><br>
<font color=navy><span style='color:navy'>></span></font>On the screen it
shows just a blue screen with "no signal" at the top. If I try
to change <font color=navy><span style='color:navy'>></span></font>channels,
I get the message "cannot open capture device /dev/video0."
This doesn't <font color=navy><span style='color:navy'>></span></font>make
sense, because I was just able to read from /dev/video0! <span
class=GramE>xawtv</span> and mythfrontend <font color=navy><span
style='color:navy'>></span></font>also don't seem able to use the tuner, but
the combination of ptune.pl and mplayer seem <font color=navy><span
style='color:navy'>></span></font>ok. Anybody have any ideas?<br
