Summary: TV tuner was tested with mplayer, xawtv, and Mythtv. None of them worked. mplayer and xawtv both report an ioctl error originating from V4l2. Hardware and Driver Details: Platform: Debian 6.0.5 on AMD64 with kernel 2.6.32 TV tuner: Hauppauge HVR 1600 identified with a TCL M30WTP-4N-E chip. The code labelled on the tuner matches that one. Driver: Debian contained an outdated driver (cx18 couldn't identify id 168, which is the chip described above). Installing the latest driver from linuxtv.org fixed that problem. Symptoms and Testing: -v4l2-ctl works. I'm able to set frequencies, standard (e.g.: ntsc-m), and input (e.g.: S-video). -mplayer /dev/video0 works when tuner properties are set properly (i.e.: appropriate frequency, standard, and input) -mplayer tv:// ... crashes with an V4L2 ioctl error. Setting driver=v4l didn't produce the same error, but that didn't work either due to some incompatibility. mplayer tv:// didn't crash when setting driver=dummy. -xawtv also crashes with a V4L2 ioctl error. Please advise whether additional information (e.g.: dmesg, lspci outputs) is needed to identify and/or correct the problem.
