Jarod's guide and no capture

This is where I am on this:
I did an apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
This ended up installing/upgrading my box to a new
kernel: 2.6.10-1.741_FC3
>From my previous post, you see I also HAD already
installed:
ivtv-kmdl-2.6.10-1.741_FC3
I rebooted, this loaded up my new 741 kernel instead
of 681.
I loaded up the ivtv driver
[root at localhost mythtv]# /sbin/depmod -a
[root at localhost mythtv]# /sbin/modprobe ivtv
[mythtv at localhost ~]$ ll /dev/video?
crw------- 1 mythtv root 81,0 jan 16 17:22
/dev/video0
So, I guess that is a success! Next, I captured video
with no problem, but very, very low sound. Which is
vey weird, since my test sound (/usr/bin/aplay
/usr/share/sounds/KDE_Startup.wav) is as loud or quiet
as I want on my volume knob. This issue is lower on
priority list right now.
I ran mythtvsetup:
set capture on Tuner0, Channel 4 (I have a DirectTV
satellite receiver)
Started backend, opened new terminal, started frontend
when I try to watch TV, I get a black screen. I
alt-tab and take a look at my frontend terminal and it
is full of error message (sorry not exact, not at home
right now to do a copy/paste).
Remote encoder not responding
Qsocketdevice:: write Bloc: invalid socket
2005-01-16 18:47:01 error writing string list
I have a box that manually captures video with very
low sound, and that is about it. Again, I have to
wonder, is it a kernel issue? if so, do I downgrade?
If I downgrade, how do I do it?
Please help, now I am begging. "24" and "Alias" are
in full swing.
Thanks,
George
