I've been futzing with my new PVR350 for a few weeks and haven't been able to
get anywhere. warning i am an linux newbie so bear with me if i jump to some
wrong conclusions. I've been following jarod's guide and have made it up to the
point where you launch pltune-ui.pl along with mplayer to test the video in
setup.
problem: Picture is mostly static on all channels, audio sounds like morse
code.
System : Fedora Core 3, Kernel 2.6.11-1.14_FC3smp, ivtv-0.3.2x (i got the same
results with 0.2.0-rc3i)
I think it has something to do with my audio set up, but not sure. when i run
mplayer i get the following, with the last lines repeated alot with the values
slightly changing.

and i get this every once in a while
************************************************
**** Your system is too SLOW to play this! ****
************************************************
Possible reasons, problems, workarounds:
- Most common: broken/buggy _audio_ driver
- Try -ao sdl or use the OSS emulation of ALSA.
- Experiment with different values for -autosync, 30 is a good start.
- Slow video output
- Try a different -vo driver (-vo help for a list) or try -framedrop!
- Slow CPU
- Don't try to play a big DVD/DivX on a slow CPU! Try -hardframedrop.
- Broken file
- Try various combinations of -nobps -ni -forceidx -mc 0.
- Slow media (NFS/SMB mounts, DVD, VCD etc)
- Try -cache 8192.
- Are you using -cache to play a non-interleaved AVI file?
- Try -nocache.
Read DOCS/HTML/en/video.html for tuning/speedup tips.
If none of this helps you, read DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html.

this is what leads me to believe its an audio problem. but i could be wrong.
playing sounds works just fine.
/usr/bin/aplay /usr/share/sounds/KDE_Startup.wav
works perfectly. so the audio thing might be a red hearing.
My /etc/modprobe.conf looks like this:

Thanks for looking at this anyone who's gotten this far. I did get it to work
one night, so i know the card is ok. i must have broken the setup somehow with
and update of some sort. I didn't notice whenn i broke it, so i don't know what
i did to break it. In fact when it was working it picked up stations better
then on the windows side of the fence. I've tried putting a a bunch of setting
into my /etc/modprobe.conf gleamed from this and the mythtv list, but from what
i understand the settings are set automaticly now. i've also tried using the
apt-get versions of ivtv as per jarod's guide, but no luck.
what else can i look at to help troubleshoot this, or is there something
glaring in what you see above?
thanks a ton in advance.
