Hi,
I just bought a WinTV PVR 350 today, and I am trying to get it working.
I am at the point where I can get a mpg from /dev/video0 but the quality
is terrible. I have some sound but the image is ... well see by yourself.
I put a sample (800K) in http://www.chauveau-central.net/ivtv/.
In fact that sample is the better I could get on all channels.
Moth of the channels are almost completely black.
I do not think that the signal is too weak because I also have a bttv
card that works fine.
My setup is as follow:
- ivtv-0.3.6z (I first tried ivtv-0.3.7f but it did not work either).
- kernel 2.6.12 - AMD64 - Debian unstable
- gcc 4.0 (because debian now use it to compile their kernels)
- I am in the Netherlands so in the PAL world
I load the modules with
modprobe -v i2c_algo_bit
modprobe -v tuner modprobe -v msp3400
modprobe -v videodev
modprobe -v saa7115
modprobe -v ivtv ivtv_debug=0
I am currently using the following firmware
305dba74bbe5905447add8883f3ecb68 /lib/modules/ivtv-fw-dec.bin
d85cb08382395390dc95ac6ebc2205f9 /lib/modules/ivtv-fw-enc.bin
Remark: I also tried the 'recommanded' ones during a while but they would
not autodetect the tuner and the PAL mode. I got them by passing
ivtv_std=2 tuner=38 to ivtv but the final result was identical.
After loading the drivers, I configure by
./ivtvctl -p 4 # use tuner input
./ivtvctl -u 1 # use PAL
./ivtvctl -f "width=720,height=576" # PAL resolution
./ptune.pl -fpal-europe -c 32
And I get the mpg with
cat /dev/video0 > a.mpg
Here is the log with vtv_debug=10
