I don't normally run mythbuntu here (or for that matter ubuntu), so a test like this may be a while. > > I am using analog cable.

No, HVR-1950 support began around roughly the 2.6.26 kernel timeframe. That's when it started working here. But IIRC, HVR-1950 support also required updated tuner support in the V4L core and that was still shakey arounnd 2.6.26 - but even that stabilized LONG before the 3.x kernel series started. Right now, aside from the FM radio, the HVR-1950 (and presumably the HVR-1900) should be working as well as the older PVR-USB2 models, on all recent kernel versions. When you are swapping mythbuntu versions, are you using the same firmware files? Maybe 10.04 is missing the firmware image for the HVR-1950's FX2 microcontroller? > > I can get pvrusb2 and hvr-1950 to work in 12.04 with tv-viewer, but not > mythtv. > For all the above, I just use the standard iso install with no special > changes. > I'm guessing it's mythtv that's breaking in the 3.x kernels. I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case. Mythtv is complex and difficult to keep healthy. Don't get me started there... -Mike -- Mike Isely isely @ isely (dot) net PGP: 03 54 43 4D 75 E5 CC 92 71 16 01 E2 B5 F5 C1 E8 _______________________________________________ pvrusb2 mailing list [email protected] http://www.isely.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pvrusb2
