[mythtv-users] problem with PVR250 and ivtv module

[Harondel J. Sibble]

Sounds like the same problem I was having with my MDK8.2 box, I resolved the 
by the following: Note I have a second bttv tuner


/etc/rc.local
**********************
(snipped other stuff)

/etc/ivtvsetup
***********************



/etc/modules (this setup resolved having to reload the ivtv modules after 
booting)
***********************
scsi_hostadapter
snd-emu10k1
ivtv
bttv
ati_remote
***********************



/etc/ivtvsetup
***********************
#!/bin/sh
### set input standard to ntsc
/usr/local/bin/test_ioctl -d /dev/video0 -u 0x3000
### set capture input to tuner (switch input types
### to deal with bug in firmware that causes
### banding in the image
/usr/local/bin/test_ioctl -d /dev/video0 -p 3
/usr/local/bin/test_ioctl -d /dev/video0 -p 4
### set capture resolution to ntsc
/usr/local/bin/test_ioctl -d /dev/video0 -f width=720,height=480
### set capture stream output to dvd compliant format
/usr/local/bin/test_ioctl -d /dev/video0 -c stream_type=10
