I have been running Mythtv for about a year and a half now if not longer in a
pvr-250 MCE without any difficulties. I decided to upgrade to a pvr-500 MCE as
I was starting to run into schedule conflicts. I figured this would be a cake
walk but I was wrong. The card seems to initialize fine but I can only get
static from 'cat /dev/video0 > 0.mpg' or from video1. In dmesg I see a line
for each card, or pvr-150, section that the tuner is not set. I am assuming
this is the problem but I am unsure as to the cause.
Below is as much info as I could think to gather. I more is needed please let
me know. I appreciate any help anyone can offer. For now I'm gonna revert to
the 250MCE to get back going again. That is if I have'nt totally messed up the
configuration... ;)
