KnoppMyth R5A16 (includes MythTv 0.18.1) ChainTech 7NIF2 mobo - built in audio, video/tv-out, LAN Athlon XP +2700 CPU 2x256MB dual channel RAM PVR-250 w/ remote PVR-500 <--- i'm excited about this ;) CoolerMaster ATC-620C-BX1 Case CoolerMaster RS-450ACL-X 450W PSU with 120mm fan Plextor PX-716SA 4X Internal Serial ATA Dual Layer DVD±R/RW i just installed the PVR-500 and have three tuners up and running. i can't comment on the stability/reliability yet because i've only had it working for ~1/2 hour. i figured that since this thread had the PVR-500 and KnoppMyth listed in it i would include the steps i took to get my setup working. first off, i followed this thread in the KnoppMyth forum posted by 'linuxgeek' (thanks linuxgeek): http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4822 using these instructions i was able to get my 250 and one of the 500's tuners to work. to get the other tuner to work i tweaked the /etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv config files. i believe these are on par with the /etc/modprobe.conf that are used in FC3 and other distros. here is what i have for /etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv: alias char-major-81 videodev alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c options msp3400 once=1 simple=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 here is what i have for /etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv0: alias char-major-81 videodev alias char-major-81-0 ivtv i believe that is for my PVR-250 (or that's what i assumed when i set it up) my PVR-250 is /dev/video0 and i have this for /etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv1: alias char-major-81 videodev alias char-major-81-0 ivtv alias char-major-81-1 ivtv option cx25840 no_black_magic=1 again, assuming that since one of the PVR-500's tuners is /dev/video1 that this was for one of the PVR-500's tuners i was going to add the same as above to /etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv2 for the other 500 tuner, but everything worked at this step so i haven't touched ivtv2. i'm using the ivtv 0.3.6y driver as that appeared to be the most recent as of this morning. i haven't updated my recording profiles yet, they are all at default and look good. i'll be tweaking those next. ;) hopefully this will be helpful to someone interested in, or installing, a PVR-500. good luck! _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
