I tried installing R5E50 on my rig on which R5D1 had previously installed and ran without problems. When I try to record something in MythTV I just get a blank screen, no sound, no picture. I have a Hauppage PVR-250. I know it is working because I did a "cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg", which worked.

In mythtv-setup, I coupled the /dev/video0, Tuner1 device to the Cable source. I think it is configured properly because it was able to scan the device for channels. mythfilldatabase ran successfully.

I did a fresh install, not an upgrade. The post-install configure script kept hanging on the import-channel-icons part, but I don't think that caused the problem. I commented out the parts that were failing so the script would finish.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Don't know why this got moved to Hardware. This is an Installation + Configuration problem. KnoppMyth is supposed to work out of the box with standard hardware. R5D1 did.

You don't want to scan for analog channels. From http://knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page ... WatchingTV -
Be sure to go through the entire link above, odds are very good the problem is something covered within.


I'm assuming you posted to Installation then? You are post-installation...

Thank you for that link to the wiki entry. That helped me solve the problem. I had configured my card wrong (analog vs mpeg-2).

All is well now ... 'cept for my remote not working :/

Glad to hear it

For another thread then..
