Hello, I have noticed an odd problem with using ivtv-radio on my PVR-500. I spent a few hours pulling my hair out trying to get it working for the first time (never tried it before) and most of the standard practices such as ivtv-radio -d /dev/radio1 -f 107.7 and such would yield static over the sound endlessly, and I was certain the antenna was hooked up properly.
First off I am using kernel gentoo-2.6.17-r8 and ivtv driver 0.7.0 I was about to give up until I noticed something strange from... ivtvctl --log-status -d /dev/video1 ioctl VIDIOC_LOG_STATUS ok ivtv1: ================= START STATUS CARD #1 ================= < cut > tuner 3-0060: Tuner mode: radio tuner 3-0060: Frequency: 1.07 MHz <----- eh? tuner 3-0060: Standard: 0x00000000 tuner 3-0060: Signal strength: 0 tuner 3-0060: Stereo: no tuner 3-0061: Tuner mode: undefined tuner 3-0061: Frequency: 331.25 MHz tuner 3-0061: Standard: 0x0000b000 < cut > ivtv1: ================== END STATUS CARD #1 ================== I guess a frequency value of 107700 and it started working just fine! What confuses me though is this normal behaviour or a change that I am not aware of? It got me when I would try to scan for stations and absolutely nothing would come up, being within listening range of at least 20 stations I found that strange indeed... After poking around after getting it working I found this thread... http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/ivtv/devel/22874 Rather curious now if anyone else has seen this behaviour or am I alone... or did I not search the mailing list enough? Should I post my dmesg ivtv output? I have a PVR-150 MCE and PVR-500 with Samsung tuners.
