[mythtv-users] LiveTV and a pvr350

Sun Nov 21 01:24:57 UTC 2004

I am not sure about this, but recently I have been reading a lot in the 
ivtv dev list and they said something like some new tuner type are not 
inlcuded in the definition of the kernel turners.
Your tuner is type 47, and I think that and type 50 are the ones having 
problems.
I recommend you to go to the ivtv developer list, they have a lot of info.
Also you can check the file tuner.h in your kernel sorce directory and 
see if there is any entry with your number.

Hope I gave you at least something to start to look at.
