Hey everyone. I've been googling around trying to find a solution to
this, but haven't found one yet :( I did find one thread where someone
had the same problem
(http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=30704&;) but nobody found a
solution. Basically, I can view TV for about half a second or so,
afterwhich the image freezes, mythfrontend doesn't respond for about
10-20 seconds, and finally I'm dropped back to the Watch TV menu entry.
I ran mythfrontend in a console and got the following errors:
<SNIP>
It says that us-bcast (the name of my video source) isn't attached to
the input on the card, but it is (I attached it to Tuner 0). Does
anyone have any ideas? Has anyone else had a similiar problem, and even
better, has anyone solved it? Thanks very much everyone :)

Hi,
I had this same problem recently. I wish I was better at keeping
notes, but I believe it was some sort of ivtv problem in my case. I
run Gentoo, so I reinstalled the version in Portage (0.2.0 at the time
I think) and then installed a newer ivtv over the top. I currently run
0.3.7. At that point, for some reason my back end machine won't warm
boot ivtv correctly, so I shut down and did a cold reboot. From there
on it worked for me.
This may be Gentoo specific for all I know.
Well actually I'm using Gentoo too :) I'm using a manually compiled
ivtv driver (0.3.7a) and it works just fine when I cat /dev/video0, but
still doesn't work with myth :( I should mention that I'm using a
PVR-350. I've tried disabling hardware decoding, playing with
deinterlacing, and all sorts of other stuff, but I just can't get it to
work :(

James,
I too am using Gentoo with a 350 and hd3000, and am not experiencing this
issue.
Here is my working setup.
Hey, thanks for the reply. I did solve this issue (turned out to be a
completely different issue), but I was wondering, how easy was it to get
a PVR-350 and HD-3000 working? I have an HD-3000 as well but haven't
put it in my machine yet. I'll probably set the database up as well as
re-write all the user-specific options over again once I put it in. Any
gotchas with the drivers? Things I should be aware of?
James
