That's the other capture card I have in my MythTV box. I got it to work once about a year ago, and I haven't gone through the trouble of getting it to work again since. I made a few half-hearted tries over the last month, but my focus has mainly been on getting regular NTSC capture stable (at this point, sometimes shows get lost in the void of the MythTV database records or the channel doesn't change right, throwing the satellite receiver into la-la land until I manually intervene to get it back into a sane state). I also lost all my recorded shows when I upgraded from MythTV 0.18 to 0.19, and I can't for the life of me play or convert any of my old NUV files with any players (``unrecognized format'' at every turn). After hours of struggling with MySQL upgrades/downgrades/exports/imports, along with struggles w/ obscure scripts that run obscure binaries that contain inline assembly that can only compile w/ GCC version 2.95... well, let's just say that enough is enough. Note that there is some funkiness with the tveeprom module and the PVR-250 and the pcHDTV-3000 together in the same box. Basically, you can't use the tveeprom that ships w/ the IVTV driver; you have to use the one shipping w/ the kernel, and it has been ``reported to work'' w/ the PVR-250... well, I suppose that pretty much everything in a MythTV box gives you only a ``reported to work'' level of guarantee. It's a project. ;-) Mike .___________________________________________________________________. Diogenes, having abandoned his search for truth, is now searching for a good fantasy.
