When you have your channels.conf setup and tune to one, are you getting
a lock before you try to cat the device? In one console you need to be
seeing something like this.

Once you see something like that and it locks onto the stream, you
should be able to cat dvr0 at the same time and get a readable HD file.
(make sure you don't have mythbackend running and holding onto the dvb
card like it does) But you have to see the lock otherwise it isn't going
to give you anything.

Also the only thing I have in my modules.conf. (but /etc/modutiles/ivtv
in my case with debian sarge and 2.6.14.4 and ivtv 4.1) is
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
alias char-major-81-1 ivtv
alias char-major-81-2 ivtv

My system runs a PVR-350 and PVR-500 and a HD-3000 so pretty much the
same thing you have. (although I use QAM instead of OTA) This post
helped me when I was first trying to do it with OTA. (and you seem to
know about the tveeprom.ko from the kernel instead of ivytv)

I removed the extra lins from my modprobe and am trying to slim down what's still going wrong.

Hrm I keep feeling I'm pretty close, but then seem to uncover something else.  Has anyone been able to compile linuxtv-dvb-apps under FC4 or know of an RPM source?  I can't run azap or anything yet as I can't get it installed since GCC4 seems to have a problem wit the sources.

Thanks,

Chris
