[mythtv-users] Hauppauge 150 or 250

[Tim Hamer]

I've been running with a 150 successfully for weeks, but with imperfect 
picture quality. i have so far blamed that on the newness of the driver, 
because quality has gotten better with most driver releases.

however, when i saw this post and downloaded version w (v with the patch 
  below), myth became unable to tune channels correctly. now the picture 
of the current channel is squished vertically, with the bottom 20% of 
the screen being a freeze-frame of the channel the tuner started on. 
also, i notice that when i start live tv, myth reports a different 
channel on the osd than my tuner is tuned to.

the only way to see a correct picture is to use mplayer and ptune off of 
a fresh 'modprobe ivtv'. if i do that it works fine. anyone have any 
ideas? i'm using myth .17 from atrpms.
