Please try another firmware (check
http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Firmware and
http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Firmware_Versions.
What are you trying to capture? Tuner or composite?

Remove these lines. Also, I think you're using the kernel tuner module
maybe? do "modinfo|grep filename" and you should see this:
filename: /lib/modules/2.6.13-1.1526_FC4/ivtv/tuner.ko

if not, rename the file you are using to tuner.ko.HIDE and run depmod
-a then do a cold boot and you should be OK.

Also, about that firmware version, everyone who uses ATrpms has used
that version for like a year with no problems, so even though it's not
the official stable one I would leave it alone unless this stuff
doesn't fix your problem.

I did what both you and Nick suggested, and I still record in black and
white and have no sound.

Yup, that's it. Maybe I was unclear above but you need to be using the
ivtv version of this.

[root@hondapvrserver ~]# modinfo ivtv
filename:
/lib/modules/2.6.13-1.1526_FC4/updates/drivers/media/video/ivtv.ko

K, i renamed it, depmod -a, reboot, and the same ole black and white screen.

I dont have a module named tuner anymore. Is that the way its supposed
to be?

Yeah, absolutely.

Where did you get your ivtv-module from? The tuner should be in the
same directory as ivtv.ko.
If you got it from an rpm or so, just uninstall it, download the
source for ivtv and compile it yourself. Less trouble and at least
you'll know you've got a complete driver-set.

Heh. We accidentally went off-list because of the reply-tos.

I don't know how well the x86-64 rpm from atrpms works, but I do know
that people do use ivtv on x86-64. I would say install from scratch
(get the soruce from ivtvdriver.org) and make sure the version of each
module you're loading related to ivtv is from the /ivtv directory in
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/ not in another directory.

For a PVR350, ivtv works fine on x86-64 here. I guess a PVR250 is simpler and
will also work just fine.
I don't know why you have a black and white picture, maybe the tuner isn't
detected correctly?

Well, I went ahead and reinstalled today, and now am at the same point
in the wilsonet guide. I had black and white captures again. So just
for the hell of it, i swapped out svid cables, and its all in vibrant
colors!

However.

I still dont have sound. I noticed (as per the guide) that when i run:

mplayer -vo xv /tmp/test_capture.mpg

I see a lot of mplayer stuff in the console, then the captured piece of
tv plays. But burried in all the txt that zip by real fast is this line:

MPEG: no audio streams found -> no sound

I'm not a gambling man, but if i were, id guess this might have
something to do with it. Am i right?

Try tuning to a different channel with ivtvtune or ptune-ui, and see
fi you have sound on that channel?

Well, currently its being tuned by the reciever, so whatever channel the
(direttv) reciever is on, thats whats being displayed in mythtv. I have
tried a couple channels, and none seem to work.

As a side note, I decided to play an xvid movie that I had using
mplayer, and it doesnt have sound either. Not sure if its related or not.

Well if your systems doesn't have sound at all, you definately won't
with ivtv. What happens if you use the redhat soundcard testing
program (system-config-soundcard)? Does it play a sound successfully?
If it does, but some other things have no sound, check your mixer
settings (kmix, gnome-alsamixer, alsamixer). Make sure Master, PCM,
and Wave are all turned up all the way then test again.

I do have sound. The system-config-soundcard test plays the little
jingle ok I just double checked kmix, and everything is turned up and
not muted..

Hmm. Well, is the sound from your reciever connected to your pvr-250
line in (it should be)? If it is, then try this:

ivtvctl -Q

It should say something about "Audio Line In". If it says something
about "Tuner line in" instead, then do:

ivtvctl -A

and then

ivtvctl -q=X

where X is the number of "Audio Line In" as reported by ivtvctl -A.

Black-and-white picture often occurs when you have connected the s-video
signal, but have the PVR card in composite input mode. Verify your input
connections and settings.
