Also note that using 'mplayer /dev/video0'
produces a black screen when the input is set to Composite 2, so I know it's not just a naming problem. I can also use ptune-ui to change inputs and channels while mplayer is displaying the output. I can see slight flashes when the input changes but no picture and no response from changing channels. I am getting some input from the card, just not from the tuner. Also, sorry if my ivtv version I listed was wrong - that's what Ubuntu's package manager lists as the version. Thanks in advance for your help! -Keller On 2/9/07, Keller Giacomarro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm having trouble getting my PVR-550 to use the tuner.
