[mythtv-users] PVR-150MCE in Australia?

[Duncan Kennington]

I've got a PVR-150MCE (mostly) going in New Zealand:

Relevant module config options (note it is my second card - change the -81-1
to -81-0 if the 150 is your first/only card):

alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-1 ivtv

options cx25840 i2c_enable=1 audiofmt=1 no_black_magic=1
#options saa7127 i2c_enable=-1
options msp3400 once=1 simple=1 
options wm8775 mixer=2
options tda9887 pal=B
options ivtv ivtv_std=2 tda9887=1 tuner=58 ivtv_debug=0

In a startup script I am also running 

ivtvctl -d /dev/video1 -u 1 -f width=720,height=576 -p 2 

Input 2 (-p 2) is Composite in on the PVR-150MCE I have.  Hopefully it's the
same for you.  Ivtvctl will be able to tell you, though.

I haven't had any luck with the tuner, though.  I can see static, hear
static (the audio was no mean feat), but never a signal, regardless of what
frequency (including those tested working on a bttv card using xawtv in the
same machine.

Let me know if you have more luck with the tuner than I did.  (Change the
above script to -p 6 for the tuner input).

Regards,
Duncan

Anyone had any success setting up a PVR-150MCE with Myth in Australia?
I'm having trouble getting my modprobe.conf set up properly for capturing.
I'm getting static with color bars on the lower third of the screen, but no
signal from my Telstra direct decoder box.

Thanks!
