I installed R4V2 and my 1GHz Athlon system with a PVR-350 and have not been able to get any tv to show live or to record on my system. I've tried a bunch of help from other peoples posts, but haven't been able to get it working. Everything else in MythTV is working except when I go to watch live tv I just get a black screen.

Do you have program information in the program guide when you schedule a recording? If I remember correctly, if mythfilldatabase did not run the first time, you would experience the problems you are stating.

The database is full. I can schedule recordings and see what's on. I just can't watch it or record it.

Have you looked in the log? Have you started the frontend from an xterm, tried to watcha recording then quit to see the output?

There is no maigc solution for this as far as I'm aware. I've posted suggestions in the past, change PCI slot, assign IRQ, etc.

Simple question. How should the PVR-350 be set up if it is the only card in PCI slot 1? Will it be /dev/video0 or /dev/video? What should the other settings be? Also Which input should be tied to the channels? Composite 0, Composite 1, Composite 2, Compostie 3, Tuner 0, Composite 4, S-Video 0, S-Video 1, S-Video 2, S-Video 3. I have the calbe tv plugged into the CO-AX input on the TV input on the PVR-350. I'm wondering if I am doing something stupid in the configuration.

/dev/video0 and /dev/video are one and the same. Coax is Tuner. You don't have a motherboard w/ a Via chipset do you?!

Some Via chipsets are problematic w/ ivtv. You however have a greater problem. There is no database... Did you allow the scripts to finish after installing and rebooting?

Well I reinstalled knoppmyth on my nvdia chipset board and now it seems to be working. But my computer still freezes up. It freezes while recording a show without watching anything. This is the log output.
Code: QSettings: error creating /.qt
QSettings::sync: filename is null/empty
QSettings: error creating /.qt
QSettings::sync: filename is null/empty
Also my tv schedule is an hour off. How can this be fixed?

those errors are not your problem. they are normal. you can change the time by running Knoppmyth-tz as root.
