[pvrusb2] Wintv PVR USB2 - no signal

[Geoff Huber]

My PVRUSB2 WinTV did not work properly with Intrepid until I upgraded to
2.6.27-8

I am currently on 2.6.27-10
YMMV

Hi,

I picked up a second-hand Wintv unit and am trying to configure it for
Mythbuntu. I'm running the Intrepid release - 2.6.27-7... This
apparently has all drivers and relevent firmware for my 29xxx version
device.

The output of dmesg | tail -n 50 gives me:

...which as far as I can make out with my limited knowledge but from two
days of googling is all good.

However, running mplayer /dev/video0 just gives me:
MPlayer 1.0rc2-4.3.2 (C) 2000-2007 MPlayer Team
CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+ (Family: 15, Model: 
43, Stepping: 1)
CPUflags:  MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 1 3DNow2: 1 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1 Compiled
with runtime CPU detection.

Playing /dev/video0.

..though no mplayer window opens. When I hit ctrl+c I get:

MPlayer interrupted by signal 2 in module: demux_open

Running scantv just gives me a whole pile of 'no station' results, and a
scan within Mythtv show 0% signal and no stations found.

(Just to cover the obvious - yes it is plugged into a working ariel)

I've also tried the device in Windows and the Hauppage software, when
scanning, scans for a couple of seconds then tells me there's no signal.
Is this a firmware / driver issue, or have I bought a duff Wintv box..?

Many thanks in advance for your help (this forum has been invaluable in
getting me this far) and apologies for the lengthy post.

Dan
