I have an issue with my PVR-500 on mythtv that I have not been able to resolve. I am using the latest rpm from atrpms of mythtv and am currently have problems with my master backend server when I am changing channels while watching live tv. This all appear to have started when I upgraded to the latest kernel version of Fedora core 8 version 2.6.25.14-69.fc8 (64 bit version) and I can not go back because some of the modules I need for mythtv to work on the older kernel are no longer available via atrpms. ******************* Now to get down to the problem ************** When I first enter live tv the video and audio is clear. When I go to change channels the video stays clear and the audio becomes just static. If I exit live tv and come back in the channel that had static now has clear audio. I was using the ivtv kernel version from atrpms but then remembered that the ivtv driver is suppose to be included in the current linux kernel so I removed it. After this Linux was able to see the PVR-500 but it did not appear to have initialized properly since Mythtv did not recognize the card. I then noticed that none of the v4l-xxxx firmware libraries did not exist in the /lib/firmware directory so I downloaded the latest libraries from the ivtv site. Mythtv now recognizes the PVR-500 but I have the same issue with static as soon as I change the channel. Another interesting thing is that recordings made by the PVR-500 are as clear as they have always been. I am not sure what additional information would be required so please let me know. Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
