right now i'm loading the cx88-dvb module manually.<br>
<br>
I had some problems with the PVR-250 in the system not being handled
correctly by the ivtv drivers, it would show 'unknown tuner'.
Mucking around with the aliases in modprobe.conf proved fruitless, but
I could get it to run by manually loading the ivtv eeprom and tuner
modules manually, and identifying the tuner type. So I have a
shell script that does that for me on startup.<br>
<br>
I tacked on the cx88-dvb module into this script, and dmesg shows the
HD3000 as loading correctly. Tuning with azap was successful, and
i could (sorta) watch streams with mplayer. (There are known
issues with mplayer, see the pchdtv boards for more info).<br>
<br>
I added the PCHDTV card as a DVB device in mythtv-setup, and it is
available as another tuner. I didn't have any luck trying to
assign it as an HD-3000 device (for whatever reason). Note that
setting it up as DVB will only tune ATSC digital channels. I also
had it working as a V4l device to tune NTSC, but never got the audio to
sync.<br>
<br>
Once the device is set up as DVB, you can do a channel scan and it will
locate the streams available. I had to do alot of tweaking there,
as it gave many of the channels the same channel #. I have not
yet bothered to set up a zap2it configuration to populate those
channels with listings, mainly because most of them are crappy home
shopping channels, or the Music Choice 'digital radio' stations.<br>
<br>
For what it's worth, since adding the DVB card, mythfrontend has been
unstable, occasionally segfaulting with viewing recorded NTSC
broadcasts, and is very likely to segfault with playing with
ATSC. But I haven't done any troubleshooting on that, and since
it's my primary TV, I can live with a minor inconvenience as opposed to
possibly breaking everything.<br>
