Hauppauge PVR 150 reinstall: no /dev/video0?

GTBlackwell · 03-12-2006, 08:31 PM

I've had my TV card in my Suse10 box for some time now, and had MythTV running perfectly for several months. Due to a sequence of events to convoluted to go into, I'm having to set up MythTV again. However, where it used to find my TV tuner at /dev/video0, there's no longer anything there. I'm at a loss for what to do at this point. None of my TV software (XawTV, KDEtv, etc) are able to get a signal. Could something have happened to the card? I did just update (through YOU) my nVidia drivers. I'm not sure if, or how, that would have any effect.

Here's the output from mythbackend:

Don't know if that will be usefull. If nothing else, this does tell me the card itself is working, correct?

After looking through dmesg, I've found that the tuner is <unkown>:

Setting aside my questions about how my tuner suddenly isn't recognized, where can I find out which tuner matches my PVR-150?

Your ivtv version is the one that shipped in Suse 10. Did you update it previously to get the PVR-150 working? I notice ivtv is also not finding the firmware modules it needs for the card. Since the kernel is the latest I suspect you need to install a current ivtv version.
