With Hans Verkuil's help, which was VERY much appreciated, my problem turned out to be that I was using the tuner that came with the linux kernel itself rather than the one that came with ivtv-0.3.9. Looks likely I was doing the same with tveeprom as well. Once I switched, I was able to get both tuners working correctly and successfully captured mpeg using the cat /dev/video? trick. My problem is that I had some video-for-linux drivers compiled in to my kernel rather than as a module. Presumably ivtv would have warned me had these been modules. Anyway, I will be submitting my notes to the Gentoo MythTV Howto and the Gentoo PVR-500 Howto later on today. Thanks, everyone and especially Hans for your fast response and your infinite patience. ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.
