Thank you for the info. I am using PVR250. I have attached the output of the security camera into the composite input. However I have no picture. I am not a command line user and therefore lost. I have tried to use ivtvctl to set up composite 0. No luck. I have tried ptune-ui. ivtvctl -I shows > [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ ivtvctl -I > check SAA7115 input signal > ioctl: VIDEO_STATUS = Bad > > SAA7115 reg[STATUS#1 - 0x1E] = 50 > Color Standard (D0-D1): BW/No color > White peak loop (D2): Not activated > Gain value for act.lum.

Anything else I can check? Thanks, Gary _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
