Subject: [mythtv-users] PVR-500 replacing WinTV, randomly rebooting
Hello,
I have been running
Myth 0.17 on a Soyo K7VME mobo and a WinTV PCI card. This system is
normally only used as a backend for an xbox frontend. I recently replaced
the WinTV card with a PVR-500MCE. All I did was remove the WinTV card and
replace it with the PVR-500 card, then followed instructions to download ivtv
0.3.2s and configure it.
I then removed the
WinTV card from mythsetup and added two capture cards, one for each tuner on the
500. All of the functionality is working good (ie I can watch live tv,
record two shows at once, etc, etc) but the machine randomly reboots itself
every so often. It only seems to happen when one or more of the tuners are
in use (ie during live TV) and seems to possibly happen more quickly if I change
channels alot. In general the audio is working great but it seems
like on certain channels (or possibly on every channel but only right before it
decides to reboot) I notice some slight audio distortion I have heard of
people having trouble with VIA chipsets, but I have read posts where people have
had success with the KM400 chipset. I have tried the PVR-500 in a different
slot, installed the newest BIOS, verifed that the reboots will occur whether or
not the xbox is involved, tried to make sure things are using unique IRQs,
etc...here are a couple of questions:
1) Can anyone tell
me which modules should be loaded and running for a PVR-500? I'm wondering
if the sytem is still loading modules for the old WinTV card...I see references
to bttv in the dmesg output.
2) Is anyone else
using this motherboard with a PVR-150 or PVR-500? If so what are your
experiences
3) Besides adding
the new tuner cards and mapping sources, etc...in the mythsetup, is there
anything on the backend that I would have needed to switch after I install this
card?
Marty
