Thread: PVR-500 Tuner 0 = static Tuner 1 works

Hello,

I have problems getting tuner 0 working on a pvr-500.

Using composite input for the 1st tuner, it works. Using the analog cable, it does now.

doing v4l2-ctl --all on both devices gives me this

Signal on the /dev/video0 is inexistant, as is the frequency (and changing channel with ivtv-tune just don't do anything on it.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Check the dmesg logs and make sure that both of the tuners are being set up properly.

So, hooking up the coax to the card, Tuner 0 doesn't work and you can get a signal (TV station) form Tuner 1?
