Hello,
I have a problem with IVTV which I can't seem to solve. :-( I have a working PVR350, and recently I bought a PVR500, which I can't get to work. I'm in Belgium, so I'm in a PAL country. I searched the mailinglist, various forums and howto's, but somehow all the solutions provided there seem to make things worse for me. (PVR350 also not working, worse picture, strange colors, ...) I tried to get the PVR500 functional without the PVR350 in the computer, but was also unable to do so. I think there's only a small thing wrong, but I can't figure out what... I downgraded the encoder/decoder firmware to the recomended version. I upgraded from ivtv 0.2.0 (rc3j) to version 0.3.7 (k). (I also tried 0.3.8.) I use the following modules.conf: (I stripped everything I that didn't seem to make a difference as I'm trusting the autodetection.) alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c alias char-major-81 videodev alias char-major-81-0 ivtv alias char-major-81-1 ivtv alias char-major-81-2 ivtv options ivtv tda9887=0,0,0 ivtv_debug=1 All options I tried made things worse... :-( With this configuration the PVR350 (/dev/video0) is working perfectly, /dev/video1 en /dev/video2 (PVR500) both have sound and the image changes when tuning to another chanel. A "frame" on /dev/video1 gives a pretty bad quality image (pixelated), but faces are recognizable, etc... The problem is that with 25 frames/second it seems every individual line doesn't start at the same place. Some lines ident to the left, others to the right. The amount and direction changes with every frame. This leads to a distorted image. Sound is working perfectly. /dev/video2 is worse. Sound is working, although soft, and you can see moving shadows. The image is very pixelated and mostly black and white with some green and purple artifacts. The quality is too bad to say for sure, but I think it has the same problem as /dev/video1, but worse. I can provide screenshots if necessary. Am I using a wrong tuner type? I tried a lot of those, but they al make things worse if they work at all. What am I doing wrong?
