audio from vlc using /dev/video32, hw:2,0 (sound card), and input 1. No<br>
problems there.<br>
<br>
But mythtv-setup seems to break it entirely. Whether I set the card up as<b=
r>
an MPEG or a V4L card, when I put in /dev/video32 as the device, the card<b=
r>
and the cx18 driver are =A0recognized . I'm using my Directv lineup as =
the<br>
channel source and setting up the S-video-1 connection. Everything<br>
recognized and looking good.<br>
<br>
Now if I start the frontend and Watch TV, I get nothing. This also has the<=
br>
unfortunate side effect of making the card inaccessible from vlc as well,<b=
r>
at least until a reboot reloads the cx18 driver.<br>
<br>
Is there some arcane secret to this card? It seemed like it ought to be a<b=
r>
drop-in replacement for the PVR-250, but I've been having a devil of a =
time<br>
with it.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance if anyone has any ideas.<br>
<br>
There is nothing particularly helpful to my eyes in the log output, just<br=

that there are errors. Here is the relevant part from mythbackend:<br>
