I have been using ivtv-0.2.0 with my PVR250 card to watch TV and to try
and copy my VHS tapes to DVD. I am experiencing distortion along the

that would help. I uninstalled the 0.2 and installed the 0.3.7g from rpm
using the Mandrivia cooker. I am using Mandriva 2005LE. In 0.2, ptune
and record were in /usr/lib/ivtv and was a simple matter to use them. In
0.3 there are now 5 more directories and I have no idea how to change a
channel or record or setup. I cannot find ptune and record. I have found
no documentation. Mplayer still plays the TV. However, I can not change
the channel.
I would certainly be very happy to work with a developer to make this
user friendly.
??? ptune and record are in the utils directory. I'm not sure what the
problem is.
I personally wouldn't mind if someone took the step to convert them to
C/C++ programs. I don't like scripts were you first have to install other
packages to use them. Esp. TkPerl which I never could get running on my
Linux-from-Scratch system. Just my honest opinion...

I cannot find a utils directory in the mandriva rpm 0.3.7g install. A
ptune* search of my files does not locate ptune.
I am strictly a user. No programming experience. My offer to help was
perhaps some kind of a How-to to help casual users, like myself, setup
ivtv. I have never done one before. However I am willing to try most
anything once. 0.2.0 worked. However I had help setting that up.
I tried to install mythtv. Got lost in the MySql database setup.
Documentation was unclear.
