Thanks a lot for the tips. I used the cx25840 patch and the image quality improved significantly! But the color issues are still there (absence of red colors). I also have issues with changing channels which usually doesn't work. I my log files I find error messages saying something about firmware timeout. I then plugged my card into my ancient wintendo, and there the pvr-350 works perfectly. No color issues. No issues when changing channels. Any more hints? -- hw _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
