Latest 'stable' drivers? I'm not sure that these support the PVR-150/500. You probably want the latest testing drivers, which I believe are version 0.3.Nx. For my PVR-500-MCE, I think I'm still running 0.3.2r, but I've seen people using even newer drivers, such as 0.3.4g. Unless I've misunderstood what you're saying, you should go back to Jarod's guide and read the section on setting up capture cards. Be sure to expand the section about PVR-150/500s. There he describes how to setup apt to use the atrpms testing branch, as opposed to the stable branch which is the default. --Garry _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
