Hi,
Ive got a WinTV PVR-250 which I want to use with my debian-testing box.
I followed the debian installation instructoin as found on the ivtv wiki
site.
The driver seems to compile successfully but if I do a
"modprobe ivtv"
I got following output from dmesg:
ivtv: ==================== START INIT IVTV ====================
ivtv: version 0.3.7 (k) loading
ivtv: Linux version: 2.6.13 586 gcc-4.0
ivtv: In case of problems please include the debug info
ivtv: between the START INIT IVTV and END INIT IVTV lines when
ivtv: mailing the ivtv-devel mailinglist.
ivtv: ==================== END INIT IVTV ====================
As I can see the card is not recognized by ivtv and no /dev/video0
device is created (creating it whith mknod also does not work).
I also copied the firmware files to /lib/modules but this did not solve
the problem.
the output of my "lspci -v" looks like this:
0000:00:0d.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878
Video Capture (rev 11)
Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc.: Unknown device 4500
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 10
Memory at e7000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=4K]
Capabilities: [44] Vital Product Data
Capabilities: [4c] Power Management version 2
which also indicates that the card is not recognized.
After searching the forum I found this post:
http://www.shspvr.com/smf/index.php?topic=6450.0
It is the same problem but the only difference is the "Unknown Device"
output from lspci.
Also the solution described in
http://www.shspvr.com/smf/index.php?topic=8328.0
did not solve my problem.
I don't think this is caused by a faulty card because when I last used
in my Windows box it worked fine.
I also tried knoppix a few weeks ago and I was able to watch tv with
this card (inserted in the above mentioned windows box).
Does anyone have a solution for this problem apart from unsing it on a
Windows PC ;-)
Thanks,
Matthias
