I can't seem to get my HVR-2250 (rev. 88061) card to tune any channels. I have Comcast digital cable, and my VIZIO VL370M television is able to tune all of the QAM channels, so I know that the signal is present and is usable (in theory). I have tried scanning for channels in Mythbuntu 9.10 RC (2.6.31 kernel), with MythTV, scan, dvbscan and scte65scan, without finding any channels. I have tried installing the saa7164 drivers from the kernellabs repository and also the linuxtv repository, with the same results. The channel scanner in MythTV has two bars at the top of the screen to indicate signal strength and signal-to-noise ratio, and they both stay at 0% during the channel scan. The scanner will say "locked" for a particular channel, but then it will show a message saying that it timed and without finding any channels. I have already set the timeout to the maximum allowed by the software. scte65 scan get the closest to giving some kind of output. I run it with this command: $ ./scte65scan -f1 -n1 ./us-Cable-Standard-center-frequencies-QAM256 > channels.conf At some point it gives the following output: tuning 741000000hz..locked...PID 0x1ffc found Collecting data (may take up to 2 minutes) but then it basically just hangs indefinitely until I kill it, and channels.conf is always empty afterward. I do have a couple of errors show up in dmesg, but I'm not sure if they're relevant. Just in case it's helpful, here is the output from dmesg.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I can go from here? Could there be something wrong with the card itself? Are there any diagnostics I could run? Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can offer. --dan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
