Yes - It looks like the software to make this card work as a standard BTTV/878 card is pvr.sourceforge.net which allows it to work as a BTTV capture card (audio/video) only with no mpeg encoding and it looks quite out-of-date - so I'm not going to try to make it work (I'm also unsure of how to use MythTV to generate (transcode?) MPEG files compatable with the PVR350 like the PVR350 & Nexus-S generate). So I've put the card for sale on ebay and I'll cut my losses a bit maybe. I might try to buy another PVR350 or PVR250 - I might even chance a PVR150 but I'm a bit afraid of how to get a PVR150 working alongside the existing PVR350 with the latest IVTV drivers.

As far as I know you can use the card ONLY as a standard BT878 type card. I have one, and have been using it that way. I am doing the encoding in SOFTWARE. You need the rom file in the proper location when setting up the card or you will not get any audio. Check the docs in kernel tree. Good Luck. If you ever find a way to get the hardware encoder working in linux, PLEASE drop a line. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
