My Hauppauge PVR 250 tv card has a tuner type of 50, which is a TCL 2002N. With normal ivtv I cannot tune the card and /var/log/messages indicates the tuner was not set, because /usr/src/linux/drivers/media/video/tuner.c and /usr/src/linux/include/media/tuner.h don't support type 50 or TCL. Someone posted a patch that in september that got incorporated into (at a minimum) ckennedy's 0.2.0-rc1g version (I don't know if it is in the new 0.2 ebuild), which is why it knew I had a type 50; but the 2.6.9-r1 kernel I just installed still does not have the patch. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install ivtv and own a Hauppauge PVR 250 with the TCL 2002N tuner. 2. Try to use ptune-ui.pl or ptune.pl to tune - nothing happens. 3. Check /var/log/messages and see that the tuner type was determined to be type 50 (TCL 2002N), but that the tuner module reports type not set. 4. I manually applied the patch code to /usr/src/linux/include/media/tuner.h and /usr/src/linux/drivers/media/video/tuner.c, removed all the mods, and did modprobe ivtv. Now it will tune. The urls detailing the patch(es) are: http://www.spinics.net/lists/vfl/msg12287.html http://www.spinics.net/lists/vfl/msg12313.html The second url is a patch to the first patch <g> - he used 0x88 instead of 0x8e for the control code. I am running gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.9-rc1. Actual Results: Without the patch cannot tune the card because the tuner module does not recognize the type (and therefore how to control it). Expected Results: Should have allowed changing channels, etc. The patch fixed that.

right... bttv is a kernel module.... Patch your kernel. Nothing we can do about it.
