I'm having trouble getting my PVR-550 to use the tuner. Everything appears to be installed right with no obvious error messages to be seen. I've done extensive searching and haven't seen anyone else with this exact problem. Here's the details.

Where is this Composite 2 that stole my tuner come from? As it is now, I cannot change my card's input to the Tuner. --log-status continues to tell me that I have Video Signal : not present. I've tested the card in Windows, I've hooked it straight to the wall, I've prayed to it in the traditional manner - nothing seems to make the tuner kick in correctly. Thanks a million in advance for your help, and please let me know if you need any more information! Thanks for saving my sanity! =D -Keller _______________________________________________ ivtv-devel mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-devel
