[mythtv-users] Help with Compro DVB-T300

[Greg Vickers]

Hi all,

I've got a Compro DVB-T300 on Debian etch AMD64 and I'm trying to get 
MythTV set up.  I've got a broken antenna right now, so no TV signal for 
me right now.  (Saving up to fix the antenna.)

I do have a cable TV unit and have confirmed that I have a composite 
video signal coming out of that unit.  The saa7134 module for the Compro 
DVB-T300 loads correctly and there is a /dev/video0 device created.

I've plugged the composite cable into the Compro card from the cable TV 
unit and tried to do 'cat /dev/video0 > /tmp/test.mpg' but the file did 
not contain the video coming out of the cable unit - just pink and green 
flashing pixels.

How do I capture the video signal to confirm the analog input is working?

Thanks,
Greg
