I have 2 pvr-250's in my machine running perfectly. I've been running this setup for 7 months or so without any problems.

I've acquired an X10 camera. For the life of me I can't make this work. Yes, I've tested it by hooking it directly to the TV and it works perfectly.

I've tried a few different configurations, however, after reading up on it a bit in here and on Gossamer forums I'm pretty sure I'm setting it up correctly.
1. I configured a new video source (left the grabber info alone)
2. I associated it with what I thought was the correct input (and eventually every available input)
3. I created a new channel and associated with the new video source.

If I press 'c' it just pauses live TV for a second then displays 'Tuner 0' on the screen but stays on the same channel. If I pull up the channel it's just black and turning the camera on and off doesn't flicker the screen or anything.

I've tried composite and s-video on both cards with the same results.
The camera has an RCA plug but I have an s-video adapter I tried too.

I'm running 0.15.1 if that makes a difference.

Nobody can help? Basically I'm having trouble getting anything but coaxial to work on my PVR-250s. I'd like to hook up other devices like a camera or a VCR.

Information on this seems to be limited to what I've already tried. Perhaps there's another way of going about it.

Hmm... actually, I don't have any info to offer yet, but this thread interests me! I have a wireless X10 camera sitting around that I pretty much quit using almost a year ago. I never really thought about it until now, but attaching it to an unused connection on my PVR-250 and having the ability to use it as a home security device would be a cool idea. (See who is at the door before answering it, just by hitting a button on my TV remote to change to the camera view.... That type of thing.)

For that matter, does anyone know if the USB cable that X10 wireless camera connects with has native Linux support for MythPhone?
