Hi all: I recently upgraded the motherboard in my myth system. Before the upgrade, the PVR-500 worked flawlessly. I used the same hard drive, same OS install, etc. After the upgrade, I started having problems with my tuners. At present, the problem seems isolated to tuner #1 (video0), although I am fairly sure I had the problem previously with tuner #2.
The problem materializes either as video with a very heavy red/back static and no audio, a black screen with "little splotches" of static (with a red bias), or a fairly clear picture with no audio. I've gone through the logs, and the initialization looked normal except for 1 line late in the boot (after the begin/end initialization) that complained about firmware for v4l-cx25840 load failed. As far as information to help debug the problem: When I re-installed the cards, the pvr-500 was next to my nvidia GeForce 4MX. On my old motherboard, it was one slot further away (with a soundblaster card in-between). I noticed that the video card was producing a fair amount of heat, and its length seemed to encompass only one of the two connextant chips on the PVR. I moved it to the end of the mobo, where it should be among the coolest places in the computer. The problem still persists. does anyone have any suggestions? Is that tuner on my 500 fried?
