I have a new PVR 350 that works with only 2 channels: 5 and 6. If I change to any other chanel using ptune.pl I get statics. I am based in US and have a basic Comcast service: chanels 2 through 24.
I tested tuner types 2 and 39 beside the default 47 with similar
results: 2 does not work at all 39 behaves exactly the same way
as 47.
Yours is a 47. No need to spend any more time testing others.
I am definitely willing to help with debugging this problem. Any more debugs to turn on? I am looking for some pointers. Any help would be greatly appreciated (I have spent quite a while trying to debug this problem).

Here is some debug info:
.ivtvrc:
[defaults]
Frequency=
VideoDevice=/dev/video0
FrequencyTable=ntsc-cable
TunerNum=0
Debug=9
Channel=5
Have you tried ntsc-cable-hrc?
The Linux 2.6.9 kernel has a bad definition for the LG TAPE tuner (type 47). Depending on the exact commands you issued to install ivtv, you may have updated the tuner module to the appropriate one. Unfortunately, it's not too easy to test.ivtv: Linux version: 2.6.9-gentoo-r8 SMP preempt PENTIUM4 4KSTACKS gcc-3.3 ... ivtv: Tuner Type 47, Tuner formats 0x00001000, Radio: yes, Model 0x00ad2598, Rev ision 0x00000001 ...
The easiest solution is to upgrade to Linux 2.6.10 (which contains a working definition for your tuner). If you can't do that, it's possible that you a) do not have the updated tuner module, b) have the updated tuner module, but have a bad (old?) module-init-tools package which causes the old tuner module to load, or c) have a working tuner module and module-init-tools and have a configuration problem.
Upgrading to 2.6.10 should take care of cases a) and b), giving us a much better starting place for diagnosing the problem. Make sure you power down for 30 seconds before rebooting into 2.6.10 to fully reset the card.
bttv: driver version 0.9.15 loaded bttv: using 8 buffers with 2080k (520 pages) each for capture
Why are you loading bttv? Do you actually have a BTTV card?

Good. Keep those old options commented out. They are no longer required.
HTH.
