I have been on quite a sleigh ride for the last 3 weeks while I have been
desparately trying to get things working with my first MythTV install.
My Linux experience is hampering me, but I will try to give you a brief
history, output and my current issues with the release candidate I
downloaded tonight.
I installed Ubuntu Edgy ( with the ivtv 0.7.1 drivers.
I have a Hauppauge PVR-500 with the Samsung tuners.
Hauppauge pvr-500 with updated firmware to 2.0.28.23053 Myth 0.20 (Edgy
packaged)
I am connected via a cable company.
The image from the tuners (cat /dev/video0 >/tmp/test.mpg) is so snowy it is
unusable. Lower channels 3-20 is difficult to make out what the image is.
Higher channels 42-44 the image has colour and the image is pretty good,
still a bit snowy though. The second tuner on it is even worse than the
first tuner.
Having read up on it, it looks like I need to patch the tuner_types.c with
the samsung patch. This meant compiling the kernel (I have tried 2.6.17,
2.6.17-14) and it always results in:

*****************
I am running the AMD64 version of Ubuntu Edgy (6.10).
I can compile the 2.6.18 kernels just fine, following the standard howtos on
the web. Since these kernels already have the samsung fixes in them
(supposedly) I thought okay I will just go with one of these.
Linux 2.6.18.2-custom #1 SMP Wed Nov 15 21:07:51 EST 2006 x86_64 GNU/Linux
This of course means I need to upgrade my ivtv to 0.8, and I see the 0.8.1
is in release candidate state. So I downloaded it and ran make:

*****************
Originally the "checkinstall" was failing, but I found some links on google
which indicated I should poweroff the machine for sometime (4 mintues)
before attempting the install. That appears to have worked.
Now after a reboot and checking dmesg I see:

Can anyone get me a bit further?
