Hauppauge cards, ivtv driver, MythTV, FC3 issues
Posted: Wed Dec 29, 2004 2:29 pm
During last weeks show several of us (myself, aay, Andrew, Citadel) were discussing Hauppauge tv capture cards and issues we were having on a FC3 install. My main issue was my ivtv related modules not loading up at boot time even though all the proper entries are in modules.conf. Others have the same issue as well as not getting the tv-out to work. Apparently these are known FC3/ivtv issues. Jarod Wilson has posted an update on his How-To related to these issues:

Apparently the module loading is fairly easy to fix. The tv-out is more complicated and a workaround is not in place as of yet. This has to do with all the ongoing development of the ivtv driver and the current ivtv version in the repository (ATRPMs) used in the How-To. I guess this is the price of using the latest/greatest distro release. I had everything working on my FC2 install on my old system. Hopefully everything will get sorted out soon. Let me know if anyone wants to discuss this on the irc chat or maybe get a skype call going.
