[mythtv-users] Hauppauge WINTV-PVR-500MCE working only on one tuner

[Sergio Ammirata]

I used 2.6.11-rc4 with ivtv-0.3.2e and today’s Jarod Wilson’s patch for tuner type 55 and tveeprom recognition.

I can watch TV and change channels using /dev/video1 and either tuner0 or tuner1 … However, /dev/video0 just gives me static ☹

Here is a copy of the relevant dmesg log:

Feb 27 09:14:49 PIVOR-HDTV kernel: tveeprom: The eeprom says no radio is present, but the tuner type
Feb 27 09:14:49 PIVOR-HDTV kernel: tveeprom: tuner = Philips FQ1236A MK4 (idx = 92, type = 55)
Feb 27 09:14:49 PIVOR-HDTV kernel: tveeprom: tuner fmt = NTSC(M) (eeprom = 0x08, v4l2 = 0x00001000)
Feb 27 09:14:49 PIVOR-HDTV kernel: tuner: Ignoring new-style parameters in presence of obsolete ones

Feb 27 09:15:03 PIVOR-HDTV kernel: tuner: type set to 55 (Philips FQ1236A MK4) by ivtv i2c driver #1


And here is my modprobe.conf:

# ivtv
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
alias char-major-81-1 ivtv
alias char-major-81-2 bttv
options ivtv ivtv_debug=1 ivtv_std=1,1 tuner=55,55
options cx25840 i2c_enable=1,1 debug=1 no_black_magic=1 cardtype=1 audiofmt=1


Any help would be appreciated.
