Ok, so here's something that I've sort of found through some googling, but no one seems to know what's going on. I have a PVR-250 and it's hooked up to a Time Warner cable line coming from Time Warner Rochester. Hook it to my cable ready TV, golden, no problems. Hook the cable to the PVR-250, problems. The channels that do come in, are not all that clear. Anything under about channel 20 or so, seems to not even be tuning to the cable station. It seems to be trying to pull a local OTA broad cast or just plain snow.
Tried setting the frequency tables to everything US related (us- bcast, us-cable, us-cable-hrc, us-cable-irc) to no avail. The type of "snow" that I get on the screen changes when I change the frequency table, so I know it's adjusting, but still no dice. Now for the fun part, about 10 months ago, I had this all working fine on a 2.4.x series kernel under FC1 with an older version of ivtv (can't remember it right now, and am not at that computer.) I moved out of the TWC area for a 10 month period, and then came back. I had some issues with FC1 and MythTV, so I upgraded to FC3 and a 2.6.x series kernel (2.6.12.5 with the red hat patches to be exact). I am also running the latest stable version of the 0.4.x series of ivtv. I can get dmesg output and such when I get home from work (figured I would start the thread now and see who bites). My next step is to find the oldest version of ivtv that compiles with a 2.6 kernel and try that. Anyone else have any thoughts/ideas/spasms on this? I've seen threads around the net asking why a cable ready TV works and not a PVR, and I sort of understand that. The thing I don't understand is why this would've worked fine with an older version of ivtv and not this version. Also, why almost all the references I've seen to problems similar to mine, all seem to occur on a Time Warner line...
