OK. I restarted the computer. (I have never suspended that computer |
| 27 |
before and was unsure of what would happen, but I did not realize at the |
| 28 |
time that my the game running on my wife's computer was using a samba |
| 29 |
share that would be disrupted.) I had no luck with ivtv-firmware, so I |
| 30 |
have reinstalled linuxtv-dvb-firmware-2009.09.19. Now the output of |
| 31 |
dmesg has changed somewhat: |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
michael@carter ~ $ dmesg | grep -i pvr |
| 34 |

Does this help? |
