I've been through this numerous times. It's no fun. Sorry. |

First, and most important, what does dmesg about ivtv show when you boot? |
| 10 |
|

Second, when you record 10 seconds of data to test.mpg what is the |
| 12 |
file size? Zero/small means ivtv simply isn't working. Large means it |
| 13 |
is but the tuner or something else is not working correctly. |

Note that there are a number of us that are unable to reboot PVR |
| 16 |
cards. We must cold boot them to have them operate correctly. Info |
| 17 |
will show up in dmesg if you are one of this unfortunate select group. |
| 18 |
lspci -x after a warm and cold boot would show a difference. |

Hope this helps, |
