[mythtv-users] pvr-150 tuner type 47 problem

Fri Jun 3 16:04:59 UTC 2005

thank you for the reply,  If that parameter is not longer necessary then
I am truely at a loss.  When that parameter is not set I get no errors
at all, but a cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg yeilds only static.

I am running ivtv-0.3.5t I figured the later the driver the better the
150 support might be.

If I could get your set_ivtv_params and ivtv module lines then maybe I
can narrow the playing field a bit.  Is your tuner 47 as well?  from
what I understand the tuner can be 47,50, 39... But it was also my
understanding that it is auto detected now so tuner = xx no longer
applies as well.  I feel that I am close now...

my IVTV output from dmesg:
