Sorry if that question was asked before but i could not find an answer to this.
Ok, i have a PVR-250, i bought it quite a while ago, maybe 2002, and have used it since in a DVR project (Myth and other things) and it was always great. Anyhow, last month i upgraded to digital cable TV and upgraded mythtv and ivtv(0.8). After upgrading myth, my picture started being greatly distorted, at first i thought i screwed up my install, but since i have tried other things like freevo, or just simple things like 'cat /dev/video0' and that just provides distorted results. Here is what i mean by distorted: the top20+ percent of the image is flickering fast between good and black, then there is a distorted band (image edged not straight, sort of like when you put a magnet next to a screen). The whole image have messed up colors (sort of like the Green,red,blue aren't lined up quite properly). Since i did not trust the cable signal too much i decided to try the svideo input (DVD player), and besides the image being sharper it is basically the same issue (especially the top 20% flickering black.) Anyway at this point i'm wondering the following: 1) Is it possible that a newer ivtv does not work right with my older card, did that happen to anyone ? if yes should i try an older version. 2) Is it possible a newer firmware is causing the issue, did that happen to anybody ? (should i try an old one) 3) Does it sound like maybe my card is just toast (any way to test this, beside testing in a winblows box ?) 4) Does the distortion i describe just sound like i did not set something right (i tried just about any v4l2-ctl and ivtv-tune settings i could think about). Any ideas ??? Let me know if you need screenshort/pictures, logs file etc...
