[mythtv-users] LiveTV works but recordings are blank PVR250

[Mike McLean]

Hi,

I've got a WinTV PVR-250 card in an amd athlon64 system running debian
sid (the amd64 branch).  Now I've got the card working fine, I can cat
/dev/video0 > test.mpg and watch the resulting file in mplayer.  I can
also watch Live TV broadcasts in mythtv, but if I set it to record
something, all it does is create a file with mostly blank video
(sometimes garbage appears) and no audio.  

I get the following on the console when a recording starts. 

saa7115: decoder set picture bright=127 contrast=63 saturation=63 hue=0
saa7115: decoder set picture bright=127 contrast=63 saturation=63 hue=0

Any help is greatly appreciated.
