pcHDTV site which installed: cx88-atsc, cx88-dvb and cx88-risc in
modprobe.conf.

I remember reading, and my setup, has the ivtv driver first (video0 and

thanks Geoff. I remember your msg and I tried that. That didn't seem to
change anything.<br>
While I couldn't find anything that indicated what /dev the PVR-250 is,
I went ahead and changed the HD3000 to video0 and the PVR-250 to
video1. That worked. Now I have live TV.<br>
<br>
I also changed the HD3000 to terrestrial input (physical RG6) and
commented all of the cx88's except the cx88-atsc. Fooling around, I
unplugged my antenna and plunged in the cable to the HD3000 (note, that
I'm not even looking at the HD3000). I commented out all of the cx88
entries except cx88-atsc. That resulted in large blocks at the top of
the picture that flashed.<br>
<br>
Fooling around some more, I uncommented all except cx88-dvb in
modprobe.conf and that seemed to get rid of the large B&W blocks.<br>
Note again, that I'm only looking at the PVR-250 input.<br>
<br>
There must be a connection between having cx88-atsc and ivtv. But, I
don't know why that would be.<br>
With cx88-dvb and ivtv co-habitating, it doesn't seem to be the problem.<br>
<br>
Now, I just need to know how I can get the HD3000 working. And, how I
can view LiveTV with HD3000 with the PVR-250 in -- I don't even know if
there is a way that you can pick which tuner to view live TV.<br>
<br>
Also, I like to switch to terrestrial ATSC instead of cable at some
point. Don't know how to do that -- I certainly don't want the B&W
boxes back!

If you use cx88_dvb + blackbird, the card should show up at
/dev/dvb/adapter0
If you use cx8800 the card would be (was for me, when I tried it) at
/dev/video2 (NTSC...) I haven't tried the cx88-atsc but I presume that it
could easily show up at /dev/video32..

hmmm... I'll try that. <br>
Do you NEED to also load blackbird?<br>
Where is cx8800 located?<br>
<br>
Thatnks for the help!<br>
