I've spent the last many hours trying to get a PVR-150 MCE
to work. I've tried many driver versions, including 0.2.0-rc3j
and 0.3.4q, and all yield the same results:
- encoding from composite input works just fine
- encoding from the tuner yields colored static punctuated
by short runs of just black, no matter what channel
I select with ptune / ptune-ui.
My modules.conf, dmesg and lspci output are below.
Looking through the archives, it seems a ton of people have
had this problem, but I haven't seen any actual resolutions.
- some people had the problem simply go away. not me.
- some people found that there were interrupt conflicts
with other cards. i have only one card.
- most people seem not to resolve their problem, at least on list
I've tried a ton of different module versions, no good results.
All the modules are in /lib/modules/2.6.8-2-686/extra.
I removed the ones with the same name from
/lib/modules/2.6.8-2-686/kernel/drivers/media/video.
I notice that when I load cx25840 with an explicit
no_black_magic=1 I get an error printed to the console
saying that's not a real option.
Is this card really expected to work in NTSC mode? What do I
need to do differently? Full system info is below.
Thanks much.

My modules.conf says:
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
options ivtv ivtv_debug=1
options cx25840 no_black_magic=1 debug=1
options tuner debug=1
but just to make sure the options were being passed, I ran
modprobe tuner debug=1
modprobe cx25840 no_black_magic=1 debug=1
modprobe ivtv ivtv_debug=1
(but I've had the same problems if I just run "modprobe ivtv")
and here is the dmesg output:
