Jerome, The ivtv log looks ok. I don't know if I'd spend the time on xawtv, tvtime, etc. I haven't checked into it thoroughly but none of those seem to work out of the box with the ivtv drivers.
The key is to start simple. I highly recommend following Jarod Wilson's guide , http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/fcmyth.php, even if you aren't running FC3. The steps he recommends for testing the PVR350 are the easiest way to go. In summary: 1. Start by capturing a test file. First, run ptun-ui.pl change the input to "tuner", and use the gui to change to a known local channel. In a terminal run 'cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg' 2. Try to play the file with mplayer. 'mplayer -vo xv -ao alsa test.mpg' If this doesn't work (i.e. fuzz, black screen, etc.) then you can be suspicious of your installation/configuration of ivtv. But, if it works then move on to trying to watch live tv. 3. 'mplayer -vo xv -ao alsa /dev/video0' .......(follow the rest of Jarod's guide). Good Luck!
