is a few years old but has enough horsepower according to the posts I have seen
about the requirements. I purchased the PVR250 because it seems to be a
fairly popular model from what I was able to read.</span></font></p>

upgrade with yum and follow all of the necessary steps in the Wilson how
to. I get the remote control to work and I can even get the PVR250 to
work on composite out #4 and send the sound in through the mic input of my
sound card but I want the tuner to work so I do not have to use the set top box
and can just tune in the station with the tuner card in the computer. But
everytime I try to use the tuner all I get is a snowy screen. I have tried the
following:</span></font></p>

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black'>And while I can
get a picture and sound through the sound card on composite 4 from the video
out of the set top box I can not get any picture from the tuner on channel
three or four or any other channel.</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

so I placed the PVR250 into another computer I have that is running windows XP and
the tuner worked just fine. </span></font></p>

started from scratch 5 times now and each time I have the same result.
Can any one please give me a clue of what to look at. If you need some
info from my config files please let me know with ones and I will gladly send
them. I have always thought of myself as pretty good at this stuff but I
am fairly new to linux.</span></font></p>
