I've got 2 M179s and a PVR250. Although the PVR250 has a better picture, the M179s have been stable and don't require any fiddling once properly configured. I'm using ivtv-0.2.0-rc3i with firmware pvr_1.18.21.22168_inf.zip (MD5SUM d85cb08382395390dc95ac6ebc2205f9). Yes, that's a newer version of the firmware than what is recommended, but it seems to work well. My modules configuration is as follows: options ivtv ivtv_debug=1 tuner=50,2,2 options msp3400 once=0 simpler=1 simple=0 add below ivtv msp3400 saa7115 tuner saa7127 (The PVR250 uses tuner 50 whereas the two M170s use tuner 2) If you are getting snow I would expect it to be a tuner or input setting issue. Can you post the output from your IVTV initialisation. - Ben -- A: Because it destroys the flow of conversation.
