Jason, I'm in the same boat and would be happy to share any info you find to help with this. I have been installing using Jarod's guide with the HD-3000 and PVR-250 as well. I have a myth system working with just the PVR-250, but now am trying to get a clean install working with the two cards together (I also tried just adding the HD-3000 to my existing myth system (a 2.6.9 kernel system) but that didn't work for me either).

Can't answer what *should* we use, but I am using 2.6.10-1.741_FC3 with the pcHDTV 1.6 drivers (which include the ivtv 0.2.0-rc3a drivers). So when I got to the ivtv install in Jarod's instructions, instead, I did the following: 1. Install pcHDTV 1.6 drivers (performed a make / make install of the kernel-2.6.x driver). Note that in order to get a clean compile, I had to change the pci_save_state / pci_restore_state calls in the bttv and cx8800 drivers to remove the second parameter (which is now obsolete in kernel 2.6.10). 2. Copy the pcHDTV tuner.h / id.h files from the 1.6 folders to the ivtv 0.2.0 folder (ivtv included with the 1.6 package). 3. make / make install of ivtv 4. add entries to the modprobe.conf file for the two drivers alias char-major-81 videodev alias char-major-81-0 ivtv alias char-major-81-1 cx8800 Note in #4, that I'm not sure what the second number should be for the cx8800 (does the -1 equate to video1? if so, the cx8800 install configures /dev/video32 as an s-link to /dev/dtv0, so maybe it should be alias "char-major-81-32 cx8800" ?? ). Once the above was done, I was able to use the dtvsignal / dtvscan utilities successfully with the HD-3000 and was able to capture video from /dev/video0. Unfortunately, the video0 video capture didn't show anything (just static) and the above steps don't install the ptune-ui utils. When I tried to run them from the ivtv folder (utils) folder, I don't have the necessary perl prerequisite libraries. So, then I tried installing ivtv via apt-get (following Jarod's instructions: ivtv-firware, ivtv-kmdl, & ivtv) and then building the ivtv drivers on top of it (another make / make install), so now the ivtv module still loads, but the cx8800 gives a bunch of "undefined symbol" errors and won't load. Even though the ivtv loads, I still cannot get a signal out of it (although I can now run ptune). > > Please remember I'm trying to get both the HD-3000 (for ATSC) and the > PVR-350 (for NTSC) working and I don't care/need the TV-out of the > PVR-350. Same as me (except I'm using the PVR-250). Paul -- I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand. -- Confucius
