Milos, I brought up a PVR-150 on Saturday on a gentoo box. I was using a pretty new gentoo-source 2.6.11 kernel. I could NOT get it working with Gentoo's ivtv-0.2 driver (~x86) so I used the 0.3.3k driver from the ivtv site. That worked fine. I added this to the /etc/modules.d/ivtv file: gandalf ~ # cat /etc/modules.d/ivtv alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c alias char-major-81 videodev alias char-major-81-0 ivtv options cx25840 no_black_magic=1 options ivtv ivtv_std=0 tuner=50 tda9887=0 ivtv_debug=1 options cx25840 i2c_enable=1 options saa7127 i2c_enable=-1 install ivtv /sbin/modprobe tuner; /sbin/modprobe msp3400; /sbin/modprobe saa7115; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ivtv remove ivtv /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove ivtv && /sbin/modprobe -r saa7115 && /sbin/modprobe -r msp3400 && /sbin/modprobe -r tuner #options ivtv ivtv-debug=0 mpg_buffers=90 #options tuner type=2 #options msp3400 once=1 simple=1 debug=0 #add below ivtv msp3400 saa7115 tuner #add above ivtv lirc_dev lirc_i2c gandalf ~ # The TV tuner is working fine. In fact, it's sort fo strange but it appears that the PVR-150 is actually dual tuner! Both tuner 0 and tuner 1 seem to work although I did not try recording from tuner 1. I was unable to get the S-Video or composite video inputs to work yet. I installed a new, external 300GB 1394 hard drive to act as video storage. It seemed to be working fine as of this mornig when I left. I'm sure I'll hear from my 75+ year old Linux using parents if it fails! Cheers, Mark Hope this helps, Mark _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
