hello,

after some troubles i finally got the ivtv drivers loaded and
initialized successfully (`modprobe ivtv` output is attached).

i live in germany, therefore the TV standard is PAL. TV controller is
a pvr 350. `lspci -v -s 00:07.0`:
0000:00:07.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc \
                                        iTVC15 MPEG-2 Encoder (rev 01)
        Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc. WinTV PVR-350
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 18
        Memory at c8000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=64M]
        Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2
 
my system is debian/unstable pure64 with kernel 2.6.11 and ivtv 0.3.2p
on an athlon64 with a MSI K8T Neo motherboard (VIA K8T800 chipset).
mythtv accepts the tv card, at least i see snow on all channels.

my /etc/modprobe.d looks like the following:
---SNIP---
alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
options ivtv ivtv_std=2 tda9887=0 ivtv_debug=1 tuner=28
options msp3400 once=1 simple=1
options tuner pal=1
install ivtv /sbin/modprobe tuner; /sbin/modprobe msp3400; \
        /sbin/modprobe saa7115; /sbin/modprobe saa7127; \
        /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ivtv; \
        /usr/local/bin/ivtvctl -j reg=0x6c,val=0xfa;
---/SNIP---

i believe that my problem is about channel frequencies or maybe even
module tuner options, but i have no glue where to start.
do i have to scan for channels somehow, or maybe even input frequencies
manually?
mythtv has the german channels configured thanks to a tv_grab_de_tvtoday
script, but maybe this is only about program information, not frequency
configuration.

the problem with the two issues tuner and channel frequencies (if they
are the relevant ones for me) is, that trying all tuners doesn't help as
long as frequencies aren't correct and vice versa. i need some advice.

or is my problem no longer ivtv related, but rather a mythtv issue?

bye
 jonas
