You can breathe a sigh of relief. You have a known tuner type (as a matter of fact that's one for which I made a definition after someone found me a datasheet :).
Oh, whew.

This is (most likely) completely unrelated to your current problem, but it is likely to be your next (much worse) problem if you don't get it fixed soon... The kernel is detecting corruption of data somewhere between memory and the hard drive, so you shouldn't trust the system to reliably store any data until you get it fixed. Often, it's a problem with a bad IDE cable, but can be more insidious (i.e. heat issues or a buggy chipset on the motherboard without a proper workaround in the Linux IDE driver). I would recommend you focus on this error before the tuning error (otherwise--just when you finish configuring your Myth system--you may find your filesystem has become so corrupt you have to start over).

It's theoretically possible that the data corruption may have affected a file that's required for the ivtv drivers or the ivtv firmware itself, but I wouldn't chalk it up to that just yet.

Google for:

+"DriveReady SeekComplete Error" +"DriveStatusError BadCRC"

(quotes and pluses included)
Oh wow, I can't believe I missed that. I'll try replacing the hard disk, see if that helps.

tuner: type set to 50 (TCL 2002N) by ivtv i2c driver #0

It's setting the tuner type correctly.


From that output, I can honestly say I have no idea if I have the same problem or not. I'll also be totally honest and have no idea where to find that data sheet you're talking about.

That's why I volunteered to do the part after the data sheet is found. Getting a data sheet from a vendor usually involves a lot of begging/groveling , unless you're one of the vendor's primary customers...

I'm having trouble telling if my modules.conf file does or does not list the ivtv module.

It doesn't specify a tuner option (which is the part I thought may be causing your problem), so don't worry about tracking it down..

However, since MythTV can actually able to display something from the tuner, I'm going to assume that it is loaded.

In case it's important, I'm using the latest version of KnoppMyth. Thanks for all you help.

At this point, I'll have to say I can't think of anything that would cause the symptoms you're seeing when the tuner is properly defined and configured. Fix the disk issue, then you might want to consider a re-install, and if the problem persists, let us know.
Yeah, I'm also trying to update the firmware, but I think I'll try that again after I do the hard disk replacement (the perl script for updating the firmware seems to be on the fritz too, so I'm guessing something in the whole ivtv package was corrupted). Perhaps I should look into using an earlier KnoppMyth package too.

Good luck (and I hope you just need a new cable),
Mike
