wrong driver being used for Hauppauge WinTV PVR-250
How do i get driver (iTVC15 MPEG-2 Encoder (rev 01)) installed instead of
(iTVC15 (CX23415) Video Decoder (rev 01))?

i upgraded to Linux Mint 13 running Linux version 3.2.0-23-generic
Hauppauge WinTV PVR-250 card does not work anymore.
the system is now using the wrong driver (iTVC15 (CX23415) Video Decoder
(rev 01))
# lspci -v
0c:02.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc iTVC15
(CX23415) Video Decoder (rev 01)
Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc. WinTV PVR-250
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 18
Memory at d4000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=64M]

Kernel modules: ivtv

using Linux Mint 12 Linux version 3.0.0-12-generic
my card worked with the following driver (iTVC15 MPEG-2 Encoder (rev 01))
# lspci -v
0c:02.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc iTVC15
MPEG-2 Encoder (rev 01)

The text description output by lspci doesn't matter, don't worry that
one says "Encoder" and the other says "Decoder". lspci -nnv will show
the PCI IDs that the driver code examines.

(BTW, even though the PVR-250 only performs MPEG encoding, the very old
PVR-250 v1 cards, like yours, had a CX23415 encoder/decoder chip.)

1. Please provide all of the lines in /var/log/messages between

ivtv Start initialization, version x.y.z

and

ivtv: End initialization

(Anonymize any data that you think needs to be anonymized.)


2. Could you please be more specific about what you mean by stating
"PVR-250 card does not work anymore"? What specifically is not working,
or what symptoms lead you to this conclusion?


Regards,
Andy

thanks for your response but the issue has to do with the new version of
mythtv version .25 \
the troubleshooting steps worked after a reboot. \
