far here is where I am.

I think i have that all setup properly.  So after a modprobe tveeprom, i
issue the crucial modprobe ivtv and here is the output.

ivtv: ==================== START INIT IVTV ====================
ivtv: version 0.2.0 (rc3j) loading

This is a fairly old release. Could you try again with the latest 0.3.7
stream? I don't think you need the modprobe.conf options either.


Cheers,

As a matter of fact Phil, i was doing just that while waiting for a response. Here is the update.

Removed ivtv related modules from Mandriva kernel.
Downloaded ivtv.
Compiled ivtv.
Extracted the firmware from CD.
*Grabbed recommended firmware revision online.
*Extracted encoder firmware that was suggested
Symlinked the proper firmware file.
Depmod -a

-modprobe.conf-
Blank, took it all out

Considerably smaller output with latest drivers. Still everything looks ok to me, and I am still having the formentioned problem!

'So I tried cat /dev/video0 to a .mpg and playing it with mplayer. I got static fading in and out. Tried it again on other tuner. Same thing, fading in 'and out of a black screen and static. I also tried using ptune_ui to manually tune it to a channel and again same thing. I hope this is a common 'problem and I am missing something simple.
