I have Hauppauge PVR-500 installed to machine running Ubuntu 10.04.2
LTS. I got it working well first after installing firmware-packages to
system.
I had problem getting picture to tv screen (tried to setup scart
output trough Ati vga-connector). I tried with different kernels,
drivers and vga-cards. Altrough I got picture to my tv screen at least
with s-video connection.
But now when I started livetv in Mythtv, I got only black screen with
red stripes. I think it do digital conversion and mpeg encoding well,
but problem is probably controlling the tuner?
To eliminate Mythtv caused problem I tried it with following:
user@nikon-htpc:~$ ivtv-tune -f 252.25
/dev/video0: 252.250 MHz
user@nikon-htpc:~$ cat /dev/video0 > test_capture2.mpg
^C
user@nikon-htpc:~$
http://www.freewebtown.com/deatthrow/ivtv/test_capture2.mpg
I got same video recorded with this method. Recorded video is same
altrough input coax is connected or disconnected. I have double
checked with tv that coax still works and there is analog video
transmission on the frequency.
If I try to record from another tuner on same card, I got usually only
black video.

Sometimes I got only red screen. Maybe the driver is not setting input
correctly? And channel scan fails to find any channels altrough there
is many analog channels transmitting on cable.
Dmesg available here http://www.freewebtown.com/deatthrow/ivtv/dmesg
Version info:
user@nikon-htpc:~$ uname -a
Linux nikon-htpc 2.6.32-28-generic #55-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jan 10 23:42:43
UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux
user@nikon-htpc:~$ modinfo ivtv
filename:
/lib/modules/2.6.32-28-generic/kernel/drivers/media/video/ivtv/ivtv.ko
version: 1.4.1
Tried also with 2.6.32.41 kernel
Something wrong with driver or card firmware? Any advices how to solve
the problem?
Many thanks for advance!
