Greg,
I too have an nVidia 5200 with a PVR-250 that works fine for the
most part, I'm just working out why scheduled recordings come out blank
for right now though... Is there anything I can help you with? I have
a Gigabyte K8NS-Ultra 939 mobo with and AMD64 3000+ CPU.
I just switched to the CVS version of MythTV and it seems to have
fixed some weird MYTH_PROTO_VERSION error that I was seeing (Unrelated
to the warning in the documentation). I also find that I have to set my
default input to Tuner0, is that common for everyone else who uses the
PVR-250? I also live in Canada and as such, I recieve NTSC which seems
to work fine with the PVR-250.
Does anyone know when this URL will be up? It has to do with
setting up MythTV with the PVR-250.
