Chris Kennedy was working on the PVR-150 and from what's been posted, he has it working, except for audio. Ulf got that working, but appears to be MIA, so Chris hasn't gotten those mods from him yet, to wrap up into a test release.
The PVR-150 and PVR-500 both use a new chip, the CX25840, so the work Chris is doing for the PVR-150 will apply to the PVR-500, only the PVR-500 has dual tuners, dual encoders, etc., so he'll have some work on getting them both set up and working together. I've had a couple PVR-500's on order from buy.com for over a month now. One is for Chris to use for development and testing. If they ever start shipping them, perhaps we'll see some progress. Hopefully, Ulf will show up one of these days so we can get a complete test version for the PVR-150. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Axel Thimm Sent: Wednesday, December 15, 2004 4:23 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ivtv-devel] Re: PVR-500 development help On Tue, Dec 14, 2004 at 12:57:49PM -0600, Paul Miller wrote: > I recently have gotten very interested in building my own PVR system and I'd > like to use the PVR-500 board, but currently there appears to be little > support for it in Linux.

The driver should be the same as the one for the PVR 150 (I think it should just look like two PVR 150 cards), so the status of the PVR 150 applies to the PVR 500 as well (see other threads). I can send you datasheets if you'll like to develop for the PVR 150/500. > Is there a way to monitor hardware registers, etc. in Windows? or perhaps > using VMware? -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
