Have just got a brand new PVR-350 card. After a couple of days I have not managed to record anything from the TV input. All I get is static. Once in a while I am getting a very bad image, I can not even recognise which station it is from. The card is working perfect, as I have tried it in my Win XP machine without any problems.
When I try to capture anything i do a 'ptune.pl -f pal-europe 50' and then 'cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg'. According to the list from my cable provider channel 50 should be TV3 Denmark (I live in Denmark). Also on my real TV i use channel 50 for TV3.
Both ivtv-0.2.0-rc3i and ivtv-0.3.2s driver have been tried, with exact same result. Dmesg tells me it is a type 38 tuner. Have searched all over and can see that many people had problems with that tuner, but also solved for many people.
I am running kernel 2.6.10 at the moment, but have also tried with 2.6.11 and 2.6.9 kernels. Have added the below to modules.conf file:
------
options ivtv ivtv_std=2 tda9887=0
add below ivtv msp3400 saa7115 saa7127 tda9887
------
Is there some one out there that can help me with this problem? Is there anything new with my card, that requires a driver patch?

#%kmdl_parentdependencies%description The primary goal of the IvyTV Project is to create a kernel driver for the iTVC15 familiy of MPEG codecs. The iTVC15 family includes the iTVC15 (CX24315) and iTVC16 (CX24316). These chips are commonly found on Hauppauge's WinTV PVR-250 and PVR-350 TV capture cards.

Extract firmware from CD. Make Hauppage-PVR-Firmware-2.2a.tar.gz from it || copy it to /usr/lib/modules and modify .spec file.
Have fun.
