[mythtv-users] Can't get pvr250 working.

[Graham, Douglas J]

Hi Mike,
I had similar experience... Followed Jarods guide and got the tv output working but only had static. You have to tell the card which channel frequency to
tune to. I used the Ptune-ui.pl utility in myth directory (can't remember the exact path) running in a separate shell to tune the card and watch the
output on the TV. I'm in the UK and found the first channel at location 64. Hope this helps,
Doug

Hi,
I'd try going through the Capture ( ivtv focused ) section of Jarod's Guide.  You might need to set your tuner to PAL or NTSC.  You can access it here:
