[mythtv-users] PVR 500 not changing channels

[TimberWolf]

Dear listmembers,

I have been plugging along, trying to get my Haupauge PVR-500 to work with
mythtv. So far without much success, I might add. Situation:

MythTV box (.19), running latest kernel and updates. Used to work
wonderfully with 2 bttv cards, so the system is configured right (or at
least proves I have a minor clue how to do it :))

Installed the PVR500, fiddled around with some tuner settings, and managed
to get a 'signal detected' out of 'ivtv-tune -f 208' on both tuners. But,
whatever I do, I cant get mythtv to change channels :( Starting
mythfrontend->Watch TV gets me static, unless I do the ivtv-tune thing in
another session. Changing channels gives a brief pause, and then resumes
watching the exact same channel. Setting the card inputs (ivtvctl -p,
iirc) does nothing, readding the card to mythsetup does nothing, different
tuner settings no joy either.

So, I'm well and truly stuck, and must subject to your collective
knowledge ;) Some observations:

- Whenever I add the tunercard to mythtvsetup I can only choose 'Tuner 1',
while several websites mention 'Tuner 0'.
- Setting the tuner= setting in modprobe.conf makes no apparent difference.
- Settings other than 'Tuner' in modprobe.conf result in errors.
- ivtv loads well, without 'tuner type not set'.
- Manual tuning works a charm.

For reference, my lspci -v for the card:

dmesg output available on request, it's rather a large chunk of text...

Any help is appreciated, as I'm drawing blanks at the moment :)
