I thought I'd update you guys, as well as
anyone else who at some
point followed this thread. So I finally
took my deep breath and
and upgraded to Suse 10.
For those of you out there also planning to
upgrade, this is what
happened to me. I chose the upgrade
route rather than a clean
install. All went smoothly except nvidia
and sound drivers
wouldn't install (hung on modprobe), and tuner cards were
detected and seemingly configured by Yast
correctly but not
working properly with Myth.
I finally traced it to the ivtv drivers for
my PVR-250 (I have
ivtv-0.3.7c-3, ivtv-firmware-2.02.023-1,
& perl-Video-ivtv-0.13-2
packages installed). I tried swapping
around PCI slots and
finally ended up just pulling out the PVR-250 card altogether
since I rarely watch analog
cable these days anyway. That solved
all problems.
So... HD-3000 card is now using DVB
drivers, I'm on SVN 8152, and
all of my previous problems appear to be solved. Myth is able to
scan for channels automatically, subchannel tuning works again.
I'm even still using the underscore notation. There's a weirdness
with mythtv-setup complaining that the card is tuned to a
nonexistent channel but that might be a DB data problem.
In any case, thanks for your help.
I have yet to search the
archives for ivtv issues, so I'll do that
next. I should add that
during the several days when my system was (seemingly) utterly
nonfunctioning in terms of PVR functionality, it was
working
enough such that mythbackend still recorded
shows off the HD
card!

It looks like you are still using V4L driver(s) for the
HD-3000 card. The giveaway
is the "/dev/dtv", but I wouldn't bet any
money on it because it's
been over a year since I used a kernel
older than 2.6.12. You
could include the output from "uname -a",
then we would all know
for sure. The system log, from
boot-up to HD-3000 registration,
would also be of great interest.
So, until either I can see that you are using DVB drivers, or you move up to a kernel that includes DVB
support for the HD-3000,
I'll wait here. The 2_1, 9_1, 9_2,
etc. notation is something
that, after I got rid of it, BOTH the
HD-3000 AND the HD-5000
cards worked very well. Not without
an occassional glitch, but
every problem so far has either been easily
fixed or otherwise
explained.
Take a deep breath, move up to DVB. -- MM |
