I did not succeed to make work the frame buffer and the radio, but I can watch French TV with a very good quality.
I use a vanilla 2.6.9 kernel (SMP preempt) and now the ivtv-0.2.0-rc3 driver (previous drivers were also working fine).

In my modprob.conf I added:
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
options ivtv ivtv_debug=1 ivtv_std=3 tda9887=0 tuner=45

For tests, I  manually tuned the card:
ivtvctl -d freq  (where freq = desired_frequency*16)
I check the status with:
ivtvctl -I
which gives, when everything is ok:
check SAA7115 input signal
ioctl: VIDEO_STATUS = Sat/Dvd

SAA7115 reg[STATUS#1 - 0x1E] = 83
Color Standard (D0-D1): SECAM
...
Ready for capture (D0): Yes
...
and watch Tv with:
gmplayer -ao alsa9 /dev/video0
or
cat /dev/video0 |xine -V Xv -

It happens that sometime MythTv does not properly tunes the channels, but I could not figure the reasons.

Hi,

I'm a new user of a PVR-350 (model 992).
I'm trying to use ivtv since a few days and it
doesn't work for the moment.

I've read the wiki pages, and some of the ivtv-users
list archives but it doesn't help. All I can have is
a black screen with some noise.

Could any french user of ivtv send information about a
configuration that works today ? I mean:
Linux kernel number
version of ivtv
module (either module.conf or modprobe.conf) configuration
file.

It could be also usefull to have a table on the wiki pages
with the configurations that reports to works fine depending on
the countries.

        Thanks,

        Bruno
