I upgraded the kernel to 2.6.23.15-80.fc7 and I still have the same problem. Should I upgrade the firmware? Currently running ivtv-firmware-20070217-13.at.
Below is the output of dmesg | grep ivtv. Do you see anything unusual? ivtv: ==================== START INIT IVTV ==================== ivtv: version 1.0.0 (2.6.22.9-91.fc7 SMP mod_unload 686 4KSTACKS ) loading ivtv0: Autodetected Hauppauge card (cx23416 based) ivtv0: Unreasonably low latency timer, setting to 64 (was 32) ivtv0: loaded v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw firmware (4154787520 bytes) ivtv0: Encoder revision: 0x02060039 ivtv0: Autodetected WinTV PVR 500 (unit #1) tuner 1-0043: chip found @ 0x86 (ivtv i2c driver #0) tuner 1-0060: chip found @ 0xc0 (ivtv i2c driver #0) tuner 1-0061: chip found @ 0xc2 (ivtv i2c driver #0) cx25840 1-0044: cx25843-24 found @ 0x88 (ivtv i2c driver #0) wm8775 1-001b: chip found @ 0x36 (ivtv i2c driver #0) ivtv0: Registered device video0 for encoder MPEG (4 MB) ivtv0: Registered device video32 for encoder YUV (2 MB) ivtv0: Registered device vbi0 for encoder VBI (1 MB) ivtv0: Registered device video24 for encoder PCM audio (1 MB) ivtv0: Registered device radio0 for encoder radio ivtv0: Initialized WinTV PVR 500 (unit #1), card #0 ivtv: ====================== NEXT CARD ====================== ivtv1: Autodetected Hauppauge card (cx23416 based) ivtv1: Unreasonably low latency timer, setting to 64 (was 32) ivtv1: loaded v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw firmware (4153077520 bytes) ivtv1: Encoder revision: 0x02060039 tuner 2-0043: chip found @ 0x86 (ivtv i2c driver #1) tuner 2-0061: chip found @ 0xc2 (ivtv i2c driver #1) cx25840 2-0044: cx25843-24 found @ 0x88 (ivtv i2c driver #1) wm8775 2-001b: chip found @ 0x36 (ivtv i2c driver #1) ivtv1: Correcting tveeprom data: no radio present on second unit ivtv1: Autodetected WinTV PVR 500 (unit #2) ivtv1: Registered device video1 for encoder MPEG (4 MB) ivtv1: Registered device video33 for encoder YUV (2 MB) ivtv1: Registered device vbi1 for encoder VBI (1 MB) ivtv1: Registered device video25 for encoder PCM audio (1 MB) ivtv1: Initialized WinTV PVR 500 (unit #2), card #1 ivtv: ==================== END INIT IVTV ==================== Quoting Andy Walls <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > >> Any ideas? > > Your problems sound like they are analog tuner/demodulator setup related. > What analog Tuner types are reported in dmesg or /var/log/messages? > > Some things to do, if you haven't already: > > 1.
