OK so I now have video with my PVR250 using the new release of KnoppMyth. But the video is only in black and white. Only the video out of the pvr card seems to be black and white, not other video files that I have on the computer. I have looked around in the forum about this topic but haven't seen anything that seems to fix anyones problem. Does anyone else out there have a fix?

Thanks

I am completely updated in IVTV, and am working fine. However, I can indeed say that 2 of my 3 PVR250s will not function in my Myth box. One is older (year+) and one is (1 week old). One of them will and is the one I am using. Both of the other cards work in MCE and SnapStream/Sage systems.

Just fyi...

Might be worth reading my posts at http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=4786

I had similar problems to you!

I have what I suspect to be a new Hauppauge PVR 250 because of the following line in my lspci.

00:11.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc: Unknown device 0016 (rev 01)

Basically all I get is static from xawtv .

I also have a VIA chipset. I have tried moving the PVR 250 to different PCI slots but that didn't help. Should I be reinstalling KnoppMyth after each move?

Also, I'm not really sure how to address the VIA + PVR 250 issue if there is one. Some posts suggest that its only really a problem if you want to record and watch your recording at the same time. I'm still just trying to get video.

I'm not sure how to proceed ivtv appears to recognize a card. I just can't tell if this is incorrect....


This is what ivtv tells me...
