I bought a new WinTV 350, to turn my Linux workstation into a media center, but unfortunately they seem to create revisions of it, so took me a while to get the tuner working. (options ivtv tuner=38)
Loading the ivtv driver when udev does it and modprobe will hard freeze the machine sometimes. I can get it to load, so it's hard to give a precise reason for this. Secondly, both on Windows and Linux the tuner will stop working, so I can't switch channel. It continues to work like nothing is wrong, all channel changes just does nothing, it's possible to recover on Linux by unloading the modules and reloading them. I've been unable to get lirc working with the card too, while the card was in a Windows machine I forgot to check if the remote worked. With all the recent defective cards reports, I'm wondering if thats where my problem is. I'm not sure, but I seem to have some crashes related to loading the driver for the motherboards SB Audigy LS card, but I don't know how to get udev to print what it's doing, so it just say loading udev and freezes. AMD DualCore 5000+, 4 GB Memory, SB Audigy LS (MSI K9N Diamond motherboard Sound), Nvidia 7300 video card. A load without options ivtv tuner=38, I tried Kernel 2.6.19 and ivtv 0.9.x (That knows the card), but it seems the chance of crashing get worse with the latest version. ivtv: ==================== START INIT IVTV ==================== ivtv: version 0.8.0 (tagged release) loading ivtv: Linux version: 2.6.18-gentoo-r4-Armada SMP preempt mod_unload K8 REGPARM gcc-4.1 ivtv: In case of problems please include the debug info between ivtv: the START INIT IVTV and END INIT IVTV lines, along with ivtv: any module options, when mailing the ivtv-users mailinglist. ivtv0: Autodetected Hauppauge WinTV PVR-350 card (cx23415 based) ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKC] enabled at IRQ 16 ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:04:08.0[A] -> Link [LNKC] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 122 ivtv0: loaded v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw firmware (262144 bytes) ivtv0: loaded v4l-cx2341x-dec.fw firmware (262144 bytes) tveeprom 2-0050: Hauppauge model 48139, rev K2B7, serial# 8618306 tveeprom 2-0050: tuner model is Philips FM1216ME MK5 (idx 117, type 4) tveeprom 2-0050: TV standards PAL(B/G) PAL(I) SECAM(L/L') PAL(D/D1/K) (eeprom 0x74) tveeprom 2-0050: audio processor is MSP4418 (idx 25) tveeprom 2-0050: decoder processor is SAA7115 (idx 19) tveeprom 2-0050: has radio, has IR remote tuner 2-0043: chip found @ 0x86 (ivtv i2c driver #0) tda9887 2-0043: tda988[5/6/7] found @ 0x43 (tuner) tuner 2-0061: chip found @ 0xc2 (ivtv i2c driver #0) saa7115 2-0021: saa7115 found @ 0x42 (ivtv i2c driver #0) saa7127 2-0044: saa7129 found @ 0x88 (ivtv i2c driver #0) msp3400 2-0040: MSP4418G-B3 found @ 0x80 (ivtv i2c driver #0) msp3400 2-0040: MSP4418G-B3 supports nicam and radio, mode is autodetect and autoselect ivtv0: Encoder revision: 0x02050032 ivtv0: Decoder revision: 0x02020023 ivtv0: Registered device video0 for encoder MPEG ivtv0: Registered device video32 for encoder YUV ivtv0: Registered device vbi0 for encoder VBI ivtv0: Registered device video24 for encoder PCM audio ivtv0: Registered device radio0 for encoder radio ivtv0: Registered device video16 for decoder MPEG ivtv0: Registered device vbi8 for decoder VBI ivtv0: Registered device vbi16 for decoder VOUT ivtv0: Registered device video48 for decoder YUV ivtv0: loaded v4l-cx2341x-init.mpg firmware (155648 bytes) tuner 2-0061: tuner type not set tuner 2-0061: tuner type not set ivtv0: Initialized Hauppauge WinTV PVR-350, card #0 ivtv: ==================== END INIT IVTV ====================
