[linux-dvb] HVR-4000 and analogue tv

Wed Sep 24 17:22:21 CEST 2008

Hello all,

I put a HVR-4000 in my mythtv box, I'm only going to use it for  
analogue TV right now.

I have used dvb/v4l drivers from mercirual from yesterday and sfe-8969- 
untested.diff from http://dev.kewl.org/hauppauge/ to get HVR-4000  
support.

The system is Debian GNU/Linux lenny with latest packages and kernel  
updated yesterday. Mythtv and multimedia packages are from debian- 
multimedia.

I also get the same error described below when using dvb/v4l driver  
from http://linuxtv.org/hg/~stoth/s2-mfe

I added it as a v4l capture card in mythtv (/dev/video0 and sound  
from /dev/dsp2) and scanned for channels. Everything OK so far :)

When I use mythtv and go into "Watch TV" I get snow on the screen (and  
some green). If I change channel the picture comes up fine. So I  
always have to change channel after pressing "Watch TV". This will  
make recodings only show snow, because I cannot do the channel change  
"trick".

I got strange audio, but read somewhere else that I needed to change  
audo samplerate to 48000. That fixed that problem.

I get some errors from the kernel.

These come a lot:

I also got this (belive this was with s2-mfe driver):

Mythtv complains about unable to read:
008-09-24 17:07:02.587 NVR(/dev/video0) Error: Only read -1 bytes of  
4096 bytes from '/dev/dsp2
read audio: Input/output error
strange error flushing buffer ...

Where do I go from here?
Is this an error with the HVR-4000 driver or in mythtv?
It seems to work fine once I have changed channel.

Thanks for any help,
Anders
