Hello all, I am trying to connect a HVR-1800 directly to the cable from the cable company without a STB. I have it plugged into the TV port of the card, since I want to capture the analog signals.
I have the latest mercurial drivers loaded and have the /dev/video showing up and no errors that I can see. If I move the cable over to ATSC and scan for QAM, I find a few channels, but nothing like I would get if I plugged it right into a TV without a cablebox. The problem is, I can't seem to capture anything but a black screen on it. Maybe I am doing something wrong, since I don't seem to have a ivtv-tune command anywhere? I tried to cat /dev/video1 > test.mpg and didn't get anything. If I run v4lcrl -c /dev/video1 setnorm or setstation I don't get any errors. Even v4l-info /dev/video1 doesn't show any problems that I can see. v4lctl -c /dev/video1 list attribute | type | current | default | comment -----------+--------+---------+---------+------------------------------------- norm | choice | NTSC-M- | NTSC-M | NTSC-M NTSC-M-JP NTSC-443 PAL-BG PAL-I PAL-DK PAL-M PAL-N PAL-Nc PAL-60 SECAM-DK SECAM-L input | choice | Televis | Televis | Television Composite1 S-Video audio mode | choice | mono | mono | mono stereo lang1 lang2 bright | int | 146 | 127 | range is 0 => 255 contrast | int | 62 | 63 | range is 0 => 255 color | int | 65 | 127 | range is 0 => 255 hue | int | 0 | 127 | range is 0 => 255 volume | int | 60928 | 63 | range is 0 => 63 mute | bool | off | on | What am I missing? It must be something basic? Thanks! -Mark _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
