Hi, I've made lots of headway in terms of error messages and warnings (none now) with MythTV and my PVR-250 but I'm still not getting video. To recap:
1) ivtv installed on Gentoo machine with PVR-250 2) Can record at the command line using cat /dev/v4l/video0>test.mpg. Playback in mplayer looks good. 3) Have setup ZapIt account and seem to be getting good data in the Program Guide 4) Extraneous things like MythWeather are working and I get weather maps, data, etc. Now, at this point I can start up mythfrontend and try to watch TV. I get a black screen but if I hit up/down/left/right arrows I get info on the screen. The default channel seems to be channel 2 and I see correct program data, but I do not get a TV signal. Likewise if I try to record a program I get an indication from Myth that it's working on the right program but I get no picture. QUESTION: Is this problem because of how I set up the 'Input Connections' page? I cannot find a specific example of how people have set this to operate correctly so I've been guessing. Here's what I've done so far: CAPTURE CARDS: [MPEG: /dev/v4l/video0] Card Type: MPEG-2 Encoder (PVR-250/350) Video device: /dev/v4l/video0 Default input: Composite 0 VIDEO SOURCE: Video Source Name: Comcast Cable XMLTV Listings Grabber: North America (Data Direct) UserID/Password - set to my account Data-Direct-Lineup: Comcast-CableDigitalDigital-95032 Channel Frequency Table: default INPUT CONNECTIONS: [MPEG:/dev/v4l/video0] (Composite 0) -> Comcast Cable [MPEG:/dev/v4l/video0] (Composite 1) -> (None) [MPEG:/dev/v4l/video0] (Composite 2) -> (None) [MPEG:/dev/v4l/video0] (Composite 3) -> (None) [MPEG:/dev/v4l/video0] (Tuner 0) -> (None) [MPEG:/dev/v4l/video0] (Composite 4) -> (None) [MPEG:/dev/v4l/video0] (S-Video 0) -> (None) [MPEG:/dev/v4l/video0] (S-Video 1) -> (None) [MPEG:/dev/v4l/video0] (S-Video 2) -> (None) [MPEG:/dev/v4l/video0] (S-Video 3) -> (None) I set it this way since when I try to watch TV what I see is 'Composite 0' on the screen. Maybe I'm supposed to use the tuner? I'm not sure. I hope this is enough info without being too much. I really hope someone sees what's wrong and helps me get some TV going this evening. Thanks!
