Hi Tony, thanks for the reply. Apparently my mce_150 has the cx25840 chip and there is some bug with this and my kernel. I found this after a bit of searching. So I guess I have to apply this diff patch, but I have no idea how to do that. I'm trying to use mythTV and all I get is a blank screen.
from http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/6443 when i try to load the ivtv module everything seems fine until i try to watch tv, i get a picture and no sound. dmesg shows 'fw_register_device: device_register failed cx25840 2-0044: unable to open firmware v4l-cx25840.fw' as tpb pointed out in the forum, the readme states "NOTE: This driver will work with kernels 2.6.18, 2.6.19 and 2.6.20. For the latter kernel you will need to apply the cx25840.diff patch that is in the 'misc' directory (only if your card has the cx2584x chip, it is not needed otherwise). The 2.6.20 kernel caused a cx2584x bug to surface that prevents loading of the cx2584x firmware." Cheers Brett

What app are you trying to view with? I have the PVR-150 MCE flavor and Kubuntu Feisty 64 with MythTV as the viewing app. Feisty has everything included for this card with your Kernel version. Ubuntu Forum Quote; PVR-150/150MCE/250/250MCE - supported out of the box I just installed MythTV according to the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV#head-5c90afbe1e30cc1b14ba2badb41a8b170f37b24e Also view this link to add the IVTV repo to your sources to make sure you have all the IVTV items. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Install_IVTV_Feisty Tony
