Ladies, gentlemen,
Thanks to Winston, I was able to achieve the following, which currently "works for me" (WFM):

Now that you've finally got that working, I've finished compiling the rpms for the new (760) kernel release! :)

Using the rpms to be found there, I installed them on my machine, which I had setup according to Jarods FAQ, but without getting the card to run. This is my first setup with such hardware and Myth, so I am obviously prone to doing wrong/silly/stupid things. Well.
I tried to get ivtv to load, fiddling with my entries in the /etc/modprobe.conf, and managed to either crash the machine (freeze) or get no picture, also no entries in dmesg like I saw from others.
So today, I d/loaded and installed Winstons recompile (all files), and bootet into the new kernel. Now (just to make this plain and obvious for other newbies like me), this is not a "from scratch" system, but one with other stuff from ATRPMs possibly working in the background.
My /etc/modprobe.conf looks like this:
-----------------------------------------
alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c
alias eth0 e1000
alias scsi_hostadapter ata_piix
alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd
# nvidia kernel module
alias char-major-195 nvidia-1_0-6629
# ivtv modules setup
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
#alias tveeprom tveeprom-ivtv
#alias msp3400 msp3400-ivtv
#install lirc_i2c /sbin/modprobe ivtv; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install lirc_i2c
# --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- # --- ALSACONF verion 1.0.8 --- alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0 # --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- -----------------------------------------
Then (of course, only after reading too much output of /var/log/messages - I could have found this earlier...), I copied from the CD which came with my card the file HcwMakoA.ROM (to be found in the root of the CD) to /lib/modules.
Now, if I do
modprobe ivtv ivtv_std=2 tuner=51
(I read somewhere that ivtv_std=2 stands for Pal, and tuner 51 seemed to work...) and then do
cat /dev/video0 > /tmp/test_capture.mpg
I can play this file on a windows system with zoomplayer (the linux machine is two rooms away, later, I will test with mplayer etc...), and it shows me TV with sound. :)
Congrats to all who have made this possible - Good work! :)
I will now continue to puzzle the pieces together,
Thanks, hth, tobi... :)
