I'm fairly new to all this TV stuff in Linux, and I'm trying to get a MythTV rig up and running. I've got an old Hauppauge PVR-250 in a "MythDora" (Fedora) both, fresh install. The lspci show this Hauppauge as a "Brooktree BT878", and seems no matter what I do it loads upt he bttv & bt878 drivers. It loads the ivtv drivers as well but they dont' seem to actually do anything. Manually unloading everything and reloading ivtv & videodev leaves me without any /dev/video0. The bt878 drivers work just fine, but seem to be completely software based while I had really hoped for hardware MPEG encoder acceleration.
Am I missing something? I'm using MythDora 2.1 and that comes with ivtv 0.4.3. I thought all Hauppauge cards had on-board acceleration for use with the ivtv chipset, but did the older ones not?
