It took me a few days of experimenting to come up with the two files that I use now. Much obliged. I'll check them out. I do think there is something with bootup because I have to modprobe to get cx88 successfully loaded. But, it IS loaded and I can use mplayer to view HD channels. And, when going into Mythtv, PVR250 works. That's why I thought it was a configuration problem inside Mythtv, not a driver issue. If you want to watch HD, you need the cx-dvb module. It should be loaded after the ivtv modules and not as part of them. What do mean "not as part of them"?  You mean not in modprobe? My modprobe.conf: ==== alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c alias eth0 via-rhine alias scsi_hostadapter sata_via alias snd-card-0 snd-via82xx options snd-card-0 index=0 options snd-via82xx index=0 remove snd-via82xx { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-via82xx alias usb-controller ehci-hcd alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394 # # ivtv modules setup alias char-major-81-0 ivtv alias tveeprom tveeprom-ivtv alias msp3400 msp3400-ivtv # # nvidia kernel module alias char-major-195 nvidia-1_0-7676 alias nvidia nvidia-1_0-7676 # lirc - at bottom to ensure ivtv is loaded before lirc_i2c install lirc_i2c /sbin/modprobe ivtv; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install lirc_i2c install cx88-dvb ==== cx88-dvb is the last loaded. But, the PC still just loads the V4L drivers. I still have to manually: /sbin/modprobe cx-88 Your card should show up at /dev/dvb/adapter0 with subfolders. Yeah.. it does when I manually "modprobe cx88-dvb" If your card does not want to show up, try adding 'card=22' to the modprobe line. It seems to be recognized as card=22. Here's the dmesg: ---------------------------- Linux video capture interface: v1.00 cx2388x blackbird driver version 0.0.5 loaded cx88[0]: subsystem: 7063:3000, board: pcHDTV HD3000 HDTV [card=22,autodetected] TV tuner 52 at 0x1fe, Radio tuner -1 at 0x1fe cx2388x v4l2 driver version 0.0.5 loaded ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:0b.0[A] -> Link [LNKC] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11 cx88[0]: subsystem: 7063:3000, board: pcHDTV HD3000 HDTV [card=22,autodetected] TV tuner 52 at 0x1fe, Radio tuner -1 at 0x1fe cx88[0]/0: found at 0000:00:0b.0, rev: 5, irq: 11, latency: 32, mmio: 0xea000000  : chip found @ 0xc2 (cx88[0]) tuner 1-0061: type set to 52 (Thomson DDT 7610 (ATSC/NTSC)) cx88[0]/0: registered device video0 [v4l2] cx88[0]/0: registered device vbi0 cx88[0]/0: registered device radio0 ---------------------------- It is clear that you are loading the card against the ivtv driver (version .5....which is why it almost works...). What do you mean "against the ivtv driver"? I guess I'm not understanding the integration of tveeprom for dvb and ivtv that you explained before. Is that my problem? thanks for your help! brad
