I was going along with the Fedora Myth(TV)ology HowTo and hit a wall
at the "test the capture card" step. That being, I can't seem to
capture anything but static. Looks exactly like the static on a TV
with no cable hooked in (assuming it's not a newer TV that just shows
a blue screen). I actually have two 350s in there and both do the
same thing. Although the static doesn't look exactly the same. Hard
to explain how static is different. Anyhow, I checked the cable in my
VCR and it's definitely not that. I believe I have the correct input
selected on both cards. I fiddled with the /usr/lib/ivtv/ptune-ui
script to change channels. No effect.
I installed ivtv via:
apt-get install ivtv-firmware
apt-get install ivtv-kmdl-$KVER
apt-get install ivtv
$KVER on my system is 2.6.10-1.741_FC3
I then edited /etc/modprobe.conf to include:
# ivtv modules setup
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
(The instructions indicated this was for 350 users NOT using the TV
out - one thing at a time)
Then I did:
/sbin/depmod -a
/sbin/modprobe ivtv
No errors to be seen.
But when I tried to capture video (I tried both cards), static. I ran
/sbin/lspci -v and it seemed to produce reasonable output:

And now the log stuff, which does show some disturbing things:

Thanks in advance. This project has made me feel more ignorant than
I've felt in a very long time.
