Re: [mythtv-users] I'm getting real pissed off about IVTV

I own an old 8Gig drive and a legal copy of WinXP that I bought to install on VPC on my PowerBook for test my Web Apps in IE.  Maybe I should setup this drive as a WinXP drive.  That will take me a few weeks to get around to though.

Not that I know of short of cat /dev/video1 > test.mpg to dump the 
output of the card to a file.  It is impossible to say without having 
other evidence of the card functioning in another system whether you are 
experiencing a hardware problem.  It is not uncommon from the messages 
I've read to have a PVR-500 with one tuner defective.  I've also seen 
reports where loading the Windows drivers/firmware on a Windows system 
resets the card to a working state.  I think this is usually indicative 
of a firmware issue but either way, testing in another OS should give 
you the confirmation of whether the card works at all.
