Hi all, At last I've had success with my 150 MCE PAL card. I hooked up my Sony DV cam and got both s-video and composite OK. S-video in monochrome, composite in full colour spectrum :-). After removing a video card (don't know what make, as it doesn't say..) and moving the 150 card to the slot previously occupied by the anonymous videocard, I hit jackpot. Crystal clear video hit me like a brick! I must tell you, I did not expect success! But, lo and behold, we're there! I fire up the system with: modprobe -v ivtv ivtv_std=2 tuner=38 radio=1 The saa7127 module seems to be a BIG no-no with the PVR-150. S-VIDEO : /usr/local/bin/ivtvctl
-p 0 : B/W image I can hear no sound, but that goes for ANY sound throughout my system... (an old 350 MHz Pentium II MMX board - for now). Also, I have NO artifacts in the top scan-line, as some have reported. Perfect image. The tuner reports to be of type '(Philips PAL/SECAM multi (FM1216ME MK3)', type 38 (see below). I've found that type 38 & type 52 have the SAME definition in ivtv-0.3.2d/driver/tuner.c. Pick whichever you like...it makes no difference.

It
appears that the two files 'pvr_1.18.21.22254_inf.zip' &
'pvr48wdm_1.8.22037.exe' contain the same firmware. At least
diff'ing showed no difference. I think I'll be moving on to the mythtv mailinglist now... Still some ground to be covered...:-) So long, and thanks for all the fish!
