This is my first post to ivtv-users. I've been running SageTV for about a year now on Ubuntu 8.10. I recently installed a Hauppauge HVR-1600 as a second tuner (my first tuner is a Hauppauge PVR-150), and am running kernel 2.6.27-16-generic.
With the default ivtv driver support, I was getting video off the 1600 card (/dev/video1), but no audio. I ended up following the instructions on http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Cx18 to download and build new drivers (downloaded on 1/16/10). While it appeared at first to work (I was getting audio and video off both tuners), cx18 support didn't seem stable. SageTV reported frequent errors trying to record off /dev/video1, and it froze the sage JVM (sage is java) once, and crashed it once within 48 hours. For more info on the freezes/crashes, see http://forums.sagetv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=46433 Today I read up on the howto and troubleshooting info on ivtvdriver.com, then downloaded the latest sources today, and did a new build. I also made sure I copied the cx18 firmware to /lib/firmware. After installing today's drivers and cold booting, here's some of the excerpts from dmesg (I'm showing both tuner cards for completeness): [ 13.234846] ivtv: Start initialization, version 1.4.1 [ 13.272104] ivtv0: Initializing card 0 [ 13.272109] ivtv0: Autodetected Hauppauge card (cx23416 based) [ 13.288061] ivtv 0000:02:01.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 21 (level, low) -> IRQ 21 [ 13.413603] tveeprom 1-0050: Hauppauge model 26032, rev C199, serial# 8233007 [ 13.413609] tveeprom 1-0050: tuner model is TCL 2002N 5H (idx 99, type 50) [ 13.413612] tveeprom 1-0050: TV standards NTSC(M) (eeprom 0x08) [ 13.413614] tveeprom 1-0050: audio processor is CX25841 (idx 35) [ 13.413616] tveeprom 1-0050: decoder processor is CX25841 (idx 28) [ 13.413619] tveeprom 1-0050: has no radio, has IR receiver, has IR transmitter [ 13.413623] ivtv0: Autodetected Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150 [ 13.413625] ivtv0: Reopen i2c bus for IR-blaster support [ 13.438324] cx18: Start initialization, version 1.3.0 [ 13.483276] cx25840 1-0044: cx25841-23 found @ 0x88 (ivtv i2c driver #0) [ 13.547440] tuner 1-0061: chip found @ 0xc2 (ivtv i2c driver #0) [ 13.567160] wm8775 1-001b: chip found @ 0x36 (ivtv i2c driver #0) [ 13.638175] tuner-simple 1-0061: creating new instance [ 13.638180] tuner-simple 1-0061: type set to 50 (TCL 2002N) [ 13.640615] ivtv0: Registered device video0 for encoder MPG (4096 kB) [ 13.640650] ivtv0: Registered device video32 for encoder YUV (2048 kB) [ 13.640687] ivtv0: Registered device vbi0 for encoder VBI (1024 kB) [ 13.640716] ivtv0: Registered device video24 for encoder PCM (320 kB) [ 13.640718] ivtv0: Initialized card: Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150 [ 13.640782] ATI IXP AC97 controller 0000:00:14.5: PCI INT B -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 [ 13.655031] cx18-0: Initializing card 0 [ 13.655035] cx18-0: Autodetected Hauppauge card [ 13.655088] ivtv: End initialization [ 13.655723] cx18 0000:02:02.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 22 (level, low) -> IRQ 22 [ 13.657848] cx18-0: cx23418 revision 01010000 (B) [ 13.903453] tveeprom 2-0050: Hauppauge model 74041, rev C6B2, serial# 941135 [ 13.903457] tveeprom 2-0050: MAC address is ee8ebded [ 13.903460] tveeprom 2-0050: tuner model is TCL M2523_5N_E (idx 112, type 50) [ 13.903463] tveeprom 2-0050: TV standards NTSC(M) (eeprom 0x08) [ 13.903465] tveeprom 2-0050: audio processor is CX23418 (idx 38) [ 13.903467] tveeprom 2-0050: decoder processor is CX23418 (idx 31) [ 13.903470] tveeprom 2-0050: has no radio, has IR receiver, has IR transmitter [ 13.903473] cx18-0: Autodetected Hauppauge HVR-1600 [ 13.903475] cx18-0: Simultaneous Digital and Analog TV capture supported [ 14.052125] tuner 3-0061: chip found @ 0xc2 (cx18 i2c driver #0-1) [ 14.076499] cs5345 2-004c: chip found @ 0x98 (cx18 i2c driver #0-0) [ 14.079079] tuner-simple 3-0061: creating new instance [ 14.079082] tuner-simple 3-0061: type set to 50 (TCL 2002N) [ 14.080590] cx18-0: Registered device video1 for encoder MPEG (64 x 32.00 kB) [ 14.080593] DVB: registering new adapter (cx18) [ 14.210666] MXL5005S: Attached at address 0x63 [ 14.210672] DVB: registering adapter 0 frontend 0 (Samsung S5H1409 QAM/8VSB Frontend)...
