I just purchased a new pvr-250 and I installed it in my mythbox beside my Winfast2000.

I decided to reimage the box with an auto install.
At setup time I selected the i686 scripts with remote support.

There are two problems and maybe they are related.

1. The ivtv drivers are not being loaded, I need to execute modprobe ivtv to load the drivers once the system is up.

2. The remote is not working. I have tracked this problem down to lircd not getting started. If I start lircd then I can use irw to verify functionality.

I was assuming that with a pvr-250 my setup of the box would be a no brainer. What am I doing wrong to get the pvr-250 and remote to work?

I am willing to reimage if necessary.

Thanks,

More info.

If I exit the frontend, start lircd and re-enter the frontend the remote works.

not really sure why the ivtv driver is not loading on boot for you it is supposed to, but to force it in the /etc/modules file add a new line with ivtv

I completed a fresh install with just the new pvr-250.

The system successfully configured, remote and all.

I then installed the Winfast 2000. The system remained stable, although I am still trying to get the second tuner to work.

PIP seems a little unstable and my system would freeze if I entered into PIP and exited into a single tuner mode. I believe that the stablity is due to the configuration of the second tuner.

well you do know you have to use the card=34 tuner=2 options on the leadtek card right?
