I have a Fedora 4 system built about a month ago using Jarrod's guide and
help from this list (thanks everyone!). It's on a Dell GX 140
(1.7GHz) and a PVR350 which is working great. I just bought a
PVR500MCE and am getting ready to put it in when I get home from work
today. <br>

You pick it up on buy.com in the recent sale? Mine's on
backorder<br><br>

What version of ivtv are you running? You'll need one of the more recent
ones, 3.8 through 4.0 would be good. If you use 4.0 (the latest stable
now) you should have everything autodetected.<br><br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">I see the following in Jarrod's
guide- is this relevant to setting up the PVR 500- to tell it to use the
tuner for input... Or is it only for testing?<br>
<font face="Courier, Courier"># /usr/bin/ivtvctl -u 0x3000 -d
/dev/video1<br>
# /usr/bin/ivtvctl -p 4 -d /dev/video1<br>
# /usr/bin/ivtvctl -f width=720,height=480 /dev/video1<br>
</font><br>
Then of course, set it up in mythtv-setup - I think I can handle that...
<br><br>
This was setup about a month ago, so I assume somewhat recent... My
cable modem is down this week (thanks comcast) so I can't see what
versions I am running from here.<br><br>
Thanks<br>
