[mythtv-users] Tuner problems with PVR-350

[Ellen Spertus]

I just rebuilt my system with Fedora Core 3 according to Jarod's
instructions.  I have a PVR-350 card, and, while I can get sound and
video, I cannot change channels.  I first noticed this problem when I
ran the following two commands simultaneously:

# /usr/lib/ivtv/ptune-ui.pl &
# mplayer -vo xv /dev/video0

Changing channels through ptune-ui had no effect on the image.  The
same thing happened when I tried changing channels with
mythtvfrontend.  (It's stuck on the Asian channel.)

Here are my settings from mythtvsetup:

Capture Card Setup
- Card type: MPEG-2 Encoder (PVR-250, PVR-350)
- Default input: Tuner 0
- All other settings in their default positions

Imput connections:
- [MPEG : /dev/video0] (Tuner 0) -> cable

I defined cable under Video sources.

The relevant output of "lspci -v" is:

02:0d.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc iTVC15
MPEG-2 Encoder (rev 01)
        Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc. WinTV PVR-350
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 3
        Memory at f0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=64M]
        Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2

The results of "ivtvctl -a" appear at the end of this message.

The video is also fuzzy.  When I connect the co-ax straight from the
wall to the TV, I have no trouble with picture quality or changing
channels.

Any suggestions?
