For devices supported by the ivtv driver, such as a PVR-150, you can also try the wiki at http://www.ivtvdriver.org/ and the ivtv-users list mentioned at that site. > My system is opensuse 10.3 with kernel 2.6.24.3 compiled by me.

I'm not a tvtime user, but I would guess that it can't decode an MPEG2 PS which is the default stream type output on /dev/video0 for the PVR-150. You can do $ mplayer /dev/video0 which should work or $ cat /dev/video0 > foo.mpg to create an MPEG2 PS file to playback with an app that can handle an MPEG2 PS. > When using mythtv, > it connects, and tunes, and reports no issues, but it only seems to > tune channels 3-13.

This sounds like maybe you might have the wrong channel-freq table set up in MythTV: us-cable vs us-bcast (your card has an NTSC(M) tuner so I'm assuming US freqs). Again, just to take MythTV out of the loop to have some fine grain control over the steps: $ ivtv-tune -L Frequency Maps: us-bcast us-cable us-cable-hrc us-cable-irc japan-bcast .... $ ivtv-tune -d /dev/video0 -t us-bcast -c 20 (just an example) $ v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --log-status (look for the right freq and video signal present status) $ mplayer /dev/video0 > My > pinnacle cards are hooked up to rabbit ears, and tune ATSC just fine. > Anybody know what I'm doing wrong? Tuning to channels 14 and above requires a UHF antenna element for OTA signals in the US. US NTSC channels 2-4 & 5-6 are low VHF and 7-13 are high VHF, and they all use the same set of freq's for cable and OTA in the US. The difference in OTA vs Cable channel-frequency tables starts at channel 14.
