[mythtv-users] IVTV 0.8.1 and PVR 500 with new Samsung tuners

[Ed Gatzke]

I see a recent (11/19) release of new IVTV drivers.  Anyone try these with a
recent PVR 500 card?

I used a patched older version just to get the PVR 500 working, but the
quality was still sketchy.

People with both Win and Myth systems said the quality was fine with the
updated windows drivers, but still not great on the linux/myth side.

I am running Knoppmyth R5D1 with the patch described at

below:

cd ~ ;wget http://www.madslab.com/pvr500_samsung_patch_2.6.17.diff  ; cd
/usr/src/linux/drivers/media/video/
cp tuner-types.c /root ; patch -p0 < /root/pvr500_samsung_patch_2.6.17.diff
; cd /usr/src/linux
make ; make modules_install ; rmmod ivtv ; rmmod tuner ; modprobe tuner ;
modprobe ivtv
