I am trying to determine if I have a faulty board or I just have a setting that does not work.

 

 

I am following wilsonet for FC4 instruction.  This works great for me as I have the identical hardware/software  (FC4 and two captures cards PVR250 and a PVR500)

 

I recently installed the PVR500 following wilsonet and also found on the mythtv user mail list the instruction on updating the firmware for the PVR500.  When I did this I had both tuners on the card working well using the cat /dev/video1 > /tmp/test_capture.mpg suggested by willson.  Unfortunately in my haste to get the card working I screwed up something in my mythsetup that caused my hard drive to be filled and I was only able to access the system in fail safe mode.  I corrected this problem by deleting the MySQL database.

 

 

Just to make sure everything was working correctly I reinstalled the firmware for the PVR500 and ran the cat /dev/video1 > /tmp/test_capture.mpg test again  This time only one of the tuners (video2) worked, video1 just gives a gray screen. 

 

I have checked and re-checked.  All my setting re follows the recommendation of wilsonet.  Normally I would assume that I have a setting wrong, but being I have seen these settings work before by backend crash I am beginning to suspect a hardware problem.

 

Does any one have any suggestions?
