Hi All - ok I have given up after getting so close. I am at the early stages of installing mythtv. I have a wintv-dbx model 401 card. From what I know this is supported by v4l via cx8800 module. It loads on boot up - even seems to have the correct tuner:


cx88[0]: subsystem: 0070:3401, board: Hauppauge WinTV 34xxx models [card=1,autodetected]
tveeprom: Hauppauge: model = 34132, rev = J158, serial# = 2927402
tveeprom: tuner = Philips FM1236 MK3 (idx = 58, type = 4)
tveeprom: tuner fmt = NTSC(M) (eeprom = 0x08, v4l2 = 0x00001000)
tveeprom: audio_processor = MSP3416 (type = 14)

great - should be working?? Well, I try xawtv and get fuzzy screen (NTSC, usbcast). scantv finds no channels and tvtime gives this interesting message: tuner refuses to tell us the current frequency. This must be related.

don't think I can continue installing mythtv unless I get this working...

I would be most grateful if someone could help. Running debian unstable, v4l cx88 0.0.4, linux 2.6.12.2

thanks -
Rob
