I do not really know were to start since I can not seem to find any posts about this problem.  Am am beginning to wonder if I was not ment to have a mythtv box.

 

I am loading linux on a computer with an intel motherboard that is a few years old but has enough horsepower according to the posts I have seen about the requirements.  I purchased the PVR250 because it seems to be a fairly popular model from what I was able to read.

 

I load linux and everything works well.  I do the linux upgrade with yum and follow all of the necessary steps in the Wilson how to.  I get the remote control to work and I can even get the PVR250 to work on composite out #4 and send the sound in through the mic input of my sound card but I want the tuner to work so I do not have to use the set top box and can just tune in the station with the tuner card in the computer.  But everytime I try to use the tuner all I get is a snowy screen. I have tried the following:

# /usr/lib/ivtv/ptune-ui.pl &
# mplayer -vo xv /dev/video0

And while I can get a picture and sound through the sound card on composite 4 from the video out of the set top box I can not get any picture from the tuner on channel three or four or any other channel.

 

I even thought that maybe the PVR250 tuner was not working so I placed the PVR250 into another computer I have that is running windows XP and the tuner worked just fine.

 

I have followed every step in the Wilson how to and have started from scratch 5 times now and each time I have the same result.  Can any one please give me a clue of what to look at.  If you need some info from my config files please let me know with ones and I will gladly send them.  I have always thought of myself as pretty good at this stuff but I am fairly new to linux.

 

Thank you for any help you can provide.
