This is a very old kernel for ivtv. If you can upgrade to at least kernel 2.6.18 with ivtv 0.10.x, or even better kernel 2.6.23 with ivtv from mainline that would probably make a lot of difference. > The drivers (0.4.10) and firmware are installed and the card is > recognized.

This is because it looks like the tuner is not set ([client=(tuner unset)) which normally means it is not yet supported. If you know which tuner this card has you can look tuner.h if it is supported. > [EMAIL PROTECTED] V4LCaptureTest]$ dmesg |grep ivtv dmesg | grep does not capture all relevant output, check all between START INIT IVTV and END INIT IVTV. > ivtv: ==================== START INIT IVTV ==================== > ivtv: version 0.4.10 (tagged release) loading > ivtv: Linux version: 2.6.15.1 SMP preempt PENTIUM4 REGPARM gcc-3.4 > 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 WinTV PVR 150 card (cx23416 based) > tuner 2-0061: chip found @ 0xc2 (ivtv i2c driver #0) > ivtv0: i2c attach to card #0 ok [client=(tuner unset), addr=61] This line above is saying that the tuner is not ^^ set. > ivtv0: i2c attach to card #0 ok [client=tveeprom, addr=50] > cx25840 2-0044: ivtv driver > cx25840 2-0044: cx25843-23 found @ 0x88 (ivtv i2c driver #0) > ivtv0: i2c attach to card #0 ok [client=cx25840, addr=44] > wm8775 2-001b: ivtv driver > wm8775 2-001b: chip found @ 0x36 (ivtv i2c driver #0) > ivtv0: i2c attach to card #0 ok [client=wm8775, addr=1b] > ivtv0: loaded v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw firmware (376836 bytes) > ivtv0: Encoder revision: 0x02060039 > ivtv0: Allocate DMA encoder MPEG stream: 128 x 32768 buffers (4096KB > total) > ivtv0: Allocate DMA encoder YUV stream: 194 x 10800 buffers (2048KB > total) > ivtv0: Allocate DMA encoder VBI stream: 120 x 17472 buffers (2048KB > total) > ivtv0: Allocate DMA encoder PCM audio stream: 455 x 4608 buffers > (2048KB total) > ivtv0: Initialized WinTV PVR 150, card #0 > ivtv: ==================== END INIT IVTV ==================== The rest looks fine except it is missing some lines (dmesg comment).
