OK - Adding the 81-1 entry AND using your patch seems to have fixed the immediate problems. Will you submit that patch to the main driver tree? I now have a TV signal in MythTV and a much cleaner dmesg. I'm not sure which card I'm using though. If the PVR-150 is now card number 1 and the 250 is card #2 does this mean I'm using the 150? I guess I can unscrew cable inputs and figure that out. Now (talking to myself) how do I test both cards at the command line and how do I configure Myth to use them. I do have new devices in /dev/v4l so I think things are in pretty good shape: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ ls -la /dev/v4l/* crw-rw---- 1 root video 81, 64 Jun 28 12:35 /dev/v4l/radio0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 81, 65 Jun 28 12:35 /dev/v4l/radio1 crw------- 1 mark sys 81, 224 Jun 28 12:35 /dev/v4l/vbi0 crw------- 1 mark sys 81, 225 Jun 28 12:35 /dev/v4l/vbi1 crw------- 1 mark sys 81, 0 Jun 28 12:35 /dev/v4l/video0 crw------- 1 mark sys 81, 1 Jun 28 12:35 /dev/v4l/video1 crw------- 1 mark sys 81, 24 Jun 28 12:35 /dev/v4l/video24 crw------- 1 mark sys 81, 25 Jun 28 12:35 /dev/v4l/video25 crw------- 1 mark sys 81, 32 Jun 28 12:35 /dev/v4l/video32 crw------- 1 mark sys 81, 33 Jun 28 12:35 /dev/v4l/video33 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ Current dmesg looks better: Linux video capture interface: v1.00 ivtv: ==================== START INIT IVTV ==================== ivtv: version 0.3.6 (p) loading ivtv: Linux version: 2.6.11-gentoo-r11 preempt PENTIUM4 gcc-3.3 ivtv: In case of problems please include the debug info ivtv: between the START INIT IVTV and END INIT IVTV lines when ivtv: mailing the ivtv-devel mailinglist. ivtv: Autodetected WinTV PVR 150 card ivtv: Found an iTVC16 based chip ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:01:01.0[A] -> GSI 22 (level, low) -> IRQ 22 ivtv: Unreasonably low latency timer, setting to 64 (was 32) ivtv: XXX PCI device: 0x2570 vendor: 0x8086 tveeprom: Hauppauge: model = 26032, rev = C199, serial# = 8095579 tveeprom: tuner = TCL 2002N 5H (idx = 99, type = 50) tveeprom: tuner fmt = NTSC(M) (eeprom = 0x08, v4l2 = 0x00001000) tveeprom: audio_processor = TDA9850 (type = 3) ivtv: i2c attach [client=tveeprom[50],ok] Attached scsi removable disk sdc at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 2 ivtv: Tuner Type 50, Tuner formats 0x00001000, Radio: yes, Model 0x008d1659, Revision 0x00000000 ivtv: NTSC tuner detected ivtv: Radio detected tuner: Ignoring new-style parameters in presence of obsolete ones Vendor: Generic Model: USB MS Reader Rev: 1.03 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 00 tuner: chip found at addr 0xc2 i2c-bus ivtv i2c driver #0 ivtv: i2c attach [client=(tuner unset),ok] cx25840: starting probe for adapter ivtv i2c driver #0 (0x10005) cx25840: detecting cx25840 client on address 0x88 cx25840: cx25841-23 found.
