Hi Curtis, Thanks for the reply. Comments embedded below.
Please excuse my ignorance of matters Linux. Am relatively new to this but learning fast. >Hi Marty, > > Sorry took so long to reply... Anyhow try this page for your >frequencies - >http://www.tesc.com.au/Channels.htm > > It looks like there is only one standard so that may make it a bit >easier :) I think that the frequencies I tried from the previously listed sheet were different. Will have a play with the ones you posted today. Actually, I'll hit up some Aussie government sites and see if I can get clear info for the Sydney area as the one in the link is for Townsville. (Which is several days drive north of here). >According to the dmesg output from your other reply to Mark - your using >version 0.2.0(rc3g). One of the things I had to do was make sure there were >no duplicate modules for the kernel tree >(/lib/modules/[KERNEL]/kernel/drivers/media/video >and /lib/modules/[KERNEL]/extra/ I think).

What should I be looking for exactly? The first directory you mention : /lib/modules/[KERNEL]/kernel/drivers/media/video has a whole bunch of files with a .ko extension. Are these the modules that you are talking about? I've included a file with the output from a 'ls -l' in case that sheds some light. (dirlist1) I've looked about for a directory similar to "/lib/modules/[KERNEL]/extra/" but haven't found it yet. > Also, according to the dmesg output - your card is being set to svideo >and not the tuner... use ivtvtctl --help to get the argument to set the >tuner (should be id #6).

Which file does this ivtvctl setup go in? This would seem to have a clear possibility of being central to my problem. The SVideo In on the PVR-350 is not connected as I have no output of that type from the cable box. I am using SVideo out to my Television though. I'll do some searching on the topic of upgrading to the CVS version. Can you suggest any good tutorial / wiki / site? >>On Thursday 04 August 2005 08:10 pm, Marty Ravell wrote: >> OK, I tried this and got the output which I've attached to this email. >> >> I noticed that the page you sent a link to is for America and am >wondering >> if the frequencies are maybe different here in Australia? >> >> I am not sure what version of the driver is installed when I use the >> ATRPM's as described in Jarod's guide.
