I've been running with a 150 successfully for weeks, but with imperfect picture quality. i have so far blamed that on the newness of the driver, because quality has gotten better with most driver releases.

however, when i saw this post and downloaded version w (v with the patch below), myth became unable to tune channels correctly. now the picture of the current channel is squished vertically, with the bottom 20% of the screen being a freeze-frame of the channel the tuner started on. also, i notice that when i start live tv, myth reports a different channel on the osd than my tuner is tuned to.

the only way to see a correct picture is to use mplayer and ptune off of a fresh 'modprobe ivtv'. if i do that it works fine. anyone have any ideas? i'm using myth .17 from atrpms.

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to figure out what is the difference between the PVR-150
and PVR-250 (except about $25)...

Do both of them supported by myth ? (the 250 I know is - what about the 150 ?)

Thanks for your help,
Tom.


From a user point of view, there is not much difference between the cards. Both work in Myth.

The driver support is much newer for the 150. This means there are still some problems being worked out with it. It's getting *much* better - But if you really don't bleed over $25, get the 250.

For anyone else already trying this:
Grab 0.3.2v

Apply http://www.ivtv.tv/patches/ivtv-0.3.2v-freez_fixes.diff

Enjoy:

SVideo COLOR!
VBI (CC and Teletext)
Less prone to encoder crashes

Cheers,

Allan.
