Are you putting "&" in the tune command? I assume you mean "7",
correct?
Nope, I'm using "&". It lets me change the channel from within the
GUI. The GUI also lets me select the inputs and such, but that's not
real useful at the moment.
Are connecting connecting a cable line to the card, or an antenna?
I'm using a cable line. cable-us in the settings.
You may also want to try some channels in other tuner ranges (like
UHF) to if there's somewhere you are getting proper tuning.
I've been using channels 3, 5, 25, 57, 58, 59 for checking because I
know that these channels exist fine all the time. I also have a second
hard drive with Windows loaded on it where the card works fine. I've
been disconnecting the IDE cable and moving to the other for trouble
shooting.
Leave mplayer running (you can just do mplayer /dev/video, no cat is
needed), and open another terminal and hit
/usr/local/bin/ptune-ui.pl 5
/usr/local/bin/ptune-ui.pl 18
/usr/local/bin/ptune-ui.pl 35
/usr/local/bin/ptune-ui.pl 55
/usr/local/bin/ptune-ui.pl 65
/usr/local/bin/ptune-ui.pl 75
(Assuming you would normally get those channels) And see if you get
anything
Nothing. :(
Is there a particular file that I should be using that I'm not?
Should any of the ivtv modules be listed in /etc/modules, or aren't
they called automatically?
The only thing I have in my /etc/modules (ivtv related) is just ivtv.
Everything else should load automatically, assuming you have
up-to-date `depmod-a`
Oddly, ivtv wasn't listed in there although it was loading on boot. I
added it, but it didn't make any difference. Weirdness.
