[mythtv-users] WinTV 401 and PVR-250

[Scott Creasman]

Last November I built a system intended to serve as a dedicated MythTV box.  Thus far, the “going” has been a real struggle, although I managed to get the system up and running for the first time yesterday.  I believe part of reason things didn’t work right out of the box because some of the linux drivers weren’t ready yet for the hardware I’d purchased.  Whether that’s ultimately the case, I don’t know, but I finally saw images for the first time after updating the NVidia driver yesterday.  Also, I used Jarod’s Guide for the setup.   Unfortunately, I may have gotten a little greedy last night.  I’d originally purchased a WinTV 401 video capture card with the Conexant 2388x chipset.  After struggling to get the card up and running, I bought the PVR-250 card.  The PVR-250 card was the one that was in the system when I saw images for the first time and was the /dev/video0 device.    When I installed the WinTV 401 card with the PVR-250 card, FC3 seemed to autodetect the new card, and made an addition to my modprobe.conf file.  Unfortunately, when I look at my video devices I find /dev/video0 – but there is no /dev/video1.  Also, I’m no longer recording TV.  I see new programs listed, but there is no video to go along with the recordings.   If I type:   /sbin/depmod –a /sbin/modprobe ivtv   I get the /dev/video1 device, although the device doesn’t stay on reboot.  Also, if I launch mythtvsetup, I can’t add /dev/video1 as a device.    Also, if I type:   /sbin/lsmod   It does appear that the cx8800 have loaded.   So, my question to the group is:  What have I missed the in the setup?  Here’s a copy of /etc/modprobe.conf and some basics about my hardware:   alias eth0 sk98lin alias usb-controller ehci-hcd alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd # lirc alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c   # wintv 401 alias char-major-81 videodev alias char-major-81-0 cx8800   # ivtv modules setup alias char-major-81-1 ivtv alias tveeprom tveeprom-ivtv alias msp3400 msp3400-ivtv   # --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- # --- ALSACONF verion 1.0.8 --- alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 # --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- install lirc_i2c /sbin/modprobe ivtv; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install lirc_i2c # nvidia kernel module alias char-major-195 nvidia-1_0-7174 alias nvidia nvidia-1_0-7174     Hardware: ASUS P4P800-E MB Capture cards:  PVR-250, WinTV 401   Scott Creasman [EMAIL PROTECTED]
