Hi I'm having a problem with the first tuner of a PVR-500 card.
My setup: VIA EPIA EN12000E 1200MHz Fanless LVDS MiniITX Hauppauge WIN PVR-500MCE Ubuntu 6.10 installed using this tutorial: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV (option "Combined Backend Frontend") TV capture card: PVR 500 (with Samsung tuners) Linux version 2.6.18.6-blicboxivtv ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 4.1.2 20060928 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.1-13ubuntu5)) #1 SMP Wed Jan 10 01:11:32 CET 2007 ivtv 0.10.1 I used to have a PVR 500 with Philips tuners but the second tuner was broken (see other post I made earlier). I exchanged the card but it now comes with the Samsung tuners. Both tuners seem to initialize properly now (see trace below), but the first one doesn't work. I tried something as simple as "cat /dev/video0 > /tmp/testmpg" and the file remains empty The second tuner works "perfect". It seems to have worse quality then the Philips tuner I had before but at least I have fairly decent video. Sometimes the first tuner works, so I'm guessing some software issue rather then hardware. I manually had to update the kernel to 2.6.28 to be able to use ivtv 0.10.1 for the Samsung tuner PVR 500 support.
