The install of my new HVR-1950 on an Ubuntu Intrepid box went with minimal hassle. Using the sysfs interface and channel-number-to-frequency conversions from Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_broadcast_television_frequencies), I was able to tune in the NTSC channels just fine, with /dev/video0 giving good streaming.
The problem is that I can't seem to get the ATSC side of things to work. I tried following the directions at http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Testing_your_DVB_device, but (dvb)scan doesn't find any channels. (It will occasionally find one or two channels, but I can't get anything consistent.) It's not an antenna issue - I hooked the HVR-1950 up to a Windows box, and the Hauppauge software finds all of them no problem, with signal-to-noise ratios of 20+ (some channels max out at 30). Trying to manually set the channels with the sysfs system doesn't seem to work, either, though I'm not sure if I'm doing it correctly for ATSC. What procedure do you use to test the dtv side of the driver? Is there anyway I can tell if it's specifically a pvrusb2 issue, or if the problem is further up the chain in the V4L/DVB layer? Thanks. _______________________________________________ pvrusb2 mailing list [email protected] http://www.isely.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pvrusb2
