Please be patient, I'm a ivtv/pvr newbie.
I'm following the Wilsonet HOWTO to configure a PVR250 card.
Modules installation and configuration card seems to me right
but when I try to capture from my antenna TV nothing happens.
Size of file test_capture.mpg is steadily to zero while runs
of command "cat /dev/video1 > test_capture.mpg" as running
"mplayer -vo xv /dev/video1" nothing happens (no windows appears).
Where's my fault ?
Could the card's TV-IN be off, broken or similar ?
Is it right directly capturing from the antenna TV ?
I'm in Italy (PAL) so I guess 38 is the tuner id.
The PVR250 card is /dev/video1 (/dev/video0 is a Quickcam).
Here is the commands sequence used to install, configure and check the card:
# modprobe ivtv cardtype=2 ivtv_std=2 tuner=38 tda9887=0
# ivtvctl -d /dev/video1 -u 0xff
# ivtvctl -d /dev/video1 -f width=720,height=576
# /usr/lib/ivtv/ptune-ui.pl -d /dev/video1 &
# cat /dev/video1 > test_capture.mpg
and/or
# mplayer -vo xv /dev/video1
And following are all info & logs ivtv related.
thanks in advance
Lucio
