Mailing List Archive: having trouble getting card working

Hi
I'm having trouble getting the tv card working. Could someone point me in
the right direction? I'm on Fedora 10 64 bit

It seems to me that the problem is that /dev/video does not exist.

ivtv-tune -c4 produces: Failed to open /dev/video0

I never installed the firmware myself, I believe that this was done
automatically for me during a yum command - because /lib/firmware contains
these files

v4l-cx2341x-dec.fw
v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw
v4l-cx2341x-init.mpg
v4l-cx25840.fw
v4l-pvrusb2-24xxx-01.fw
v4l-pvrusb2-29xxx-01.fw
ivtv-firmware-license-end-user.txt
ivtv-firmware-license-oemihvisv.txt

dmesg reports:
Linux video capture interface: v2.00
ivtv: Start initialization, version 1.4.0
ivtv: End initialization

lspci -vv http://pastebin.com/m93cfebc
lspci -v http://pastebin.com/m501f247a

Any ideas?

Thanks
andrew

Hmmm. It looks like the device should be a PVR-150. But the lspci
output looks like the Ids might be incorrect. Could you please try
lspci -nnvv?

My PVR-150 looks like this in lspci -nnvv output:

Try pulling out *all* your PCI cards, blowing the dust out of *all* the
slots, put them all back in, and try again.
