Hello,
Last night after work I picked up a 150MCE ($83 cdn here in a local shop
in Vancouver) and I successfully added it to my mythbox with an existing
350 successfully. In fact it went so smoothly and easy that it
surprised me (no sound problems).
The "trick" was to make sure that the 350 was in a lower number slot
than the 150. Meaning, the 350 needed to be the first card to be
detected, you can tell by
the order of the cards that show up in dmesg. When I had it in the
"wrong" slot where the 150 detected first, I had some problems where it
appeared that the 350 thought the tuner for the 150 was it's own
tuner... if that makes sense.
The few things that I can think of that are relevant that you might want
to look for are for those if you having problems:
1) I'm currently using version 0.3.8 (svn snapshot revision 2660) - no
particular reasonly, only because happens to be what I was running
before, from the last time I upgraded about a week or 2 ago - I can
upgrade to newer version for testing if any devs want me to test.
2) I'm using ALSA. I had lots of stuttering problems when using OSS,
switching to ALSA fixed it all.
3) I'm using extra audio buffering in myth (not aggressive audio
buffering).
4) I'm not using the "Use 350 for TV output" option in mythtv anymore,
now that xv is working so well there is no need. Note if this helps,
when I do use the "Use 350 for TV output" option in mythtv, I get the
"No audio available warning", and there is no sound.
5) The only ivtv options I'm using are:
options ivtv ivtv_dynbuf=0
Nothing else, the only ivtvctl commands I'm using are for vbi.
/usr/local/bin/ivtvctl -b cc -w cc -x 1
Everything works. I was watching a xvid while both tuners were
recording without problems... also was able to wath live tv while the
other tuner was recording etc. This turned out to be a very easy 10
minute upgrade that went so smoothly that I was surprised. This is so
addictive now i want to fill up all my extra pci slots with 150MCE's. =)
