I tried 2.6.10 with ivtv 0.2.0-rc3, but it yields the same results. You mentioned potential configuration problems. What are your thoughts in that regard? (Oh, and to refresh your memory, "same results" means I can only tune in channels five and six. All other channels are snow.) > > > > Again, I'm in an apartment, so the best I could do is > > amplify the signal at the wall jack.

I tried it at the wall jack, and also at the cable junction box in my closet. That seems to be the point where the cable enters the apartment and gets distributed to the rooms. I gotta say, I'm suspecting some sort of signal problem. I just don't know enough about video to even know where to begin diagnosing that. I'd like to bring the box to a friend's place to try a different cable feed, but everyone else I know uses satellite. Correct me if I'm wrong, but satellite-based systems use external tuners, no? modprobe.conf: # ivtv modules setup alias char-major-81 videodev alias char-major-81-0 ivtv options ivtv ivtv_debug=1 ivtv init dump: Jan 1 12:50:33 myth kernel: ivtv: ==================== START INIT IVTV ==================== Jan 1 12:50:33 myth kernel: ivtv: version 0.2.0 (rc3b) loading Jan 1 12:50:33 myth kernel: ivtv: Linux version: 2.6.10-custom 686 REGPARM gcc-3.4 Jan 1 12:50:33 myth kernel: ivtv: In case of problems please include the debug info Jan 1 12:50:33 myth kernel: ivtv: between the START INIT IVTV and END INIT IVTV lines when Jan 1 12:50:33 myth kernel: ivtv: mailing the ivtv-devel mailinglist.
