That's not to say that the driver doesn't work, I'm sure its something I trying to do. The DVB portion is working fine. I'm trying to test using MythTV. First off the driver is creating 2 video devices in /dev. I'm guessing that one of them is the analog card with MPEG2 encoder support and the other is just a the frame grabber. When I select /dev/video1 ( I used ivtv_first_minor to move off the PVR500 /dev links ) in the MythTV setup it recognizes the card ( probes correctly ) and shows me what my inputs are to select from. I chose Television ( vs s-video etc ). When I attempt to watch LiveTV it just never starts. Actually it does start, and then exits back to the menu. The frontend doesn't see a recording file being generated. I can cat /dev/video1 to a file and get audio and video. But the video is super dark. I can barely make out any shapes. But the audio is fine. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
