Cory:: Both tuners seem to initialize.
Dave:: Under /lib/modules I have -r--r--r-- 1 root root 369K Sep 27 23:07 HcwFalcn.rom -r--r--r-- 1 root root 14K Sep 27 23:07 HcwMakoA.ROM lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Sep 27 23:07 ivtv-fw-enc.bin -> /lib/modules/HcwFa md5sums 5f5fa240ada73c3565f5f7de4c7b5138 HcwFalcn.rom 3a4803384f749d644ee1f1ca9dcb12fa HcwMakoA.ROM 5f5fa240ada73c3565f5f7de4c7b5138 ivtv-fw-enc.bin I will try downgrading the firmware to an older version. Is the 0x02040011 version the one on the CD? I can access both tuners fine. Only one gives me nothing but static. I don't know if this is related to a 'vbi: Invalid argument' I get on the terminal when mythfrontend is running. Greg:: Thanks for the pointer. I had it setup this way already. The capturing Im trying to do which is giving me static is using ptune and cat /dev/v4l/video0 > ~/vid0.mpg. The tuner0, tuner1, s-video0, etc doesn't come into it.

Do you show a bunch of errors in dmesg that look like > "ivtv warning: i2c client addr: 0x44 not found for command > 0x40046406!"? If so, that's the same problem I have...
