Hi all,

 

I’ve got my mythtvbox up and running on fedora core 5 and version 0.19 of myth with the help of Jarod’s howto butI still have a few issues to iron out.

 

Presently, I can tune both tuners on the PVR-500MCE, the devices are recognized at /dev/video0 and /dev/video1.
 
cat /dev/video0 > /tmp/test1.mpg produces good output on all channels tested
cat /dev/video1 > /tmp/test2.mpg produces static-y video and audio on all channels tested.

 

I have the mythtvbox dual booting at the moment so I tested the card under windows mce.  Both tuners work fine in windows.  I verified this by recording two shows simultaneously using media center and both produced good output.

 

I saw a discussion about a Samsung tuner patch.

I would like to try the above patch but I’m a linux newbie.  I tried to find the file tuner-types.c in the kernel but failed.  I looked in /lib/modules/2.6.17-1.2174_FC5smp/kernel/drivers/media/video/ but I did not see the file there.  I assume that after I find the file, there will be decimal values for 0x01, 0x02, and 0x08 that I can add 4 to.  After that reboot and see if the tuner works better?  I would be grateful if someone would point me in the right direction.

 

Here is my dmesg log.  Thanks in advance for any help you're able to give!
