Pvr 150mce
 

:newbie: I just installed the ivtv driver for my tv tuner but when I use it with kdetv ,it freezes, I tried AleTV, MoTV, XAWTV, and Zapping but all of them just give me a blank screen.

Specs: SuSe 10.1 / HP m7470n / PVR 150 MCE

Hauppauge PVR cards that use the ivtv drivers do not work with any of those applications.

You can test the card with mplayer /dev/video0 and even change the channel in a seperate console with ivtv-tune, but is cumbersome to use it that way.

MythTV is an excellent application for use with hauppauges PVR cards.

I tried MythTV and it works, thanks for helping me.
