Hi all.

I have a PVR-350 running on gentoo-amd64, Asus A8V mptherboard, 1GB
memory & A radeon9600 video card wth 256MB on it. Up until the middle
of the week I did have mythtv working fine. Great picture etc. Then it
all went to shit...


Thursday I put in a new HD (200GB SATA)...And moved my mythtv
directory to it... And all of a sudden my picture went to nothing but
static. Tonight I've been trying to get it back... But it's just not
playing ball. I thought it might be the SATA drive interferring...
Disconnet the new drive... Try again. Nothing. Thought it might be the
aerial. try another one. No dice. Thought it might be the ivtv drivers
for some reason. Try new ones. Same thing. Try older ones. Same thing.
Try bleeding edge 0.3.3. Same thing.

Play with ptune.pl a bit... Now where I am in the SE of the UK, BBC1
is on channel 26 out of crystal palace... That now shows nothing but
static (Where it used to be 100%). But if I set the tuner to channel
27!!! using


ptune.pl --input /dev/video0 --freqtable pal-europe-west --tuner-num 0
- --channel 27


I get a really really bad picture & bursts of sound. Along with

in my kernel log.

When ivtv loads I get logged the following... Abit weird also in that
it complains that it can't find tuner, tveeprom etc... yet it manages
to talk to them... Also weird is that I have to load those othe
rmodules manually... They don't autoload...

What the heck have I done to screw my card over? I can't see that it
would have died on me... But that's all I can now think of. I've
checked everything else. It just doesn't want to work... is it
possible to fine-tune it somehow? Have I knocked it somehow & de-tuned
it? (There's no physical tuning on it that I can see). Corrupted some
NVRAM in it that needs resetting?


TIA

Hamish.
