Hi, Neville. I'm no expert, and I'm new to this list. I am having a similar problem with my pvr-150, as yet unresolved. However, in trying to diagnose the problem I ran across several posts like yours. Mostly, it seems people have this problem because the device is set to something other than the one from which your signal is coming. For example, your cable is hooked up to the tuner, but your device is set to something else. Use ivtvctl to set the capture device, ivtv-tune to set a channel. Set it to different devices until you get something.
For me, I think the problem is my buggy dma. I see messages in syslog indicating as much. Maybe grep through syslog, or do tail -f /var/syslog in one terminal, cat /dev/video0 > capture.mpg in another terminal. Look for any messages that might come through syslog. Hope this helps... and maybe someone will get around to helping me with my problem too ;-) On Sat, 2006-03-18 at 07:41 -0500, Neville Chandler wrote: > Hello, > > I shelved the bttv WinTV- PVR and bought a WinTV-PVR 350.
