tvtime mystery
Hi;
I have an Hauppage WinTV-HVR-1800 tuner card. tvtime was working last
night but isn't today after a cold boot.
Events:
After installing WinTV card about a month ago, it worked in WindowsXP as
an analogue tuner using Rogers Cable here in Ottawa, Canada.
I couldn't get it working in F10 with either MythTV or tvtime. I let
things sit for a month until I could get back to it. Two or three days
ago I tried to get it started using tvtime and all I got was the same
interference looking lines and streaks.
Yesterday I downloaded the latest upgrades for F10
(2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10.x86_64). I then tried tvtime again on a
whim/off-chance; and, behold, a proper picture and channel. But no
sound -- on anything. I went to bed happy that I now had a picture and
confident that I could fix the sound in the morning.
I cold booted this morning and no picture.
I fixed the sound. Something I had upgraded had turned my PCM channel
off in the pulseaudio mixer. I simply turned PCM back on. I only
mention the PCM incident as evidence that some program was reverting
some things to default.
The PackageKit log does not show anything I recognize as being connected
to video or video drivers.
I can paste the download log, lspci and the lsmod to a reply if someone
thinks they can help me.
I have thoroughly checked /etc/tvtime/tvtime.xml and
~/.tvtime/tvtime.xml; nothing seeeems to be out of place.
Just in case, I set ~/.tvtime/tvtime.xml aside and restarted; no
improvement. The ~/.tvtime/tvtime.xml had been preserved (I think) in
my /home directory from my previous Fc9 installation.
I have checked the tvtime home site and googled.
Any and all suggestions gratefully received.
