If you're coax cable is feeding the pvr 250 you need to change default input to tuner instead of composite
So in your input connections you should have [MPEG:/dev/v4l/video0] (Composite 0) -> None [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) -> Comcast Cable [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) Hope that helps On 4/25/05 8:55 PM, "Mark Knecht" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > 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.
