I bought a pvr-250 card to test out so I could build a mythtv box. I got it to work, so I bought 2 more cards that I hoped would be identical. The boxes all said WinTV-PVR-250 Model 980, but they all had slightly different cards in them. I am only able to get the original card work.
I tested by remvoing all capture cards and placing them in the machine one at a time. It appears that the driver is detecting the different cards properly, but 2 of them just don't work. The 2nd card in the listing below is the original card that I had that works for me. Below I am pasting in 1. The relevent info from /etc/modules.conf 2. The commands that I am running to test the card 3. The output from dmesg for loading the ivtv driver. What steps can I take to make the other two cards work?
