How to get Hauppauge PVR 350 TV card recognized by XAWTV ?
Posts: 4
I installed a PVR 350 TV card in my my IBM 1 gighz i686, and expected it to be recognized at startup. It shows up in the PCI card slot info, but XAWTV runs for a few seconds (bouncing icon) and quits with no error message. xawtv typed in konsole returns 'no dev/video0'
Is it a matter of settings in XAWTV and how do I get to them if it quits ?

I've got the PVR 150. I have the same problem. I've tried several things, but I can't get it to work either. I think it needs IVTV installed first, but I can't get IVTV install correctly. I can install it by adding the proper dapper repository. Once installed, I do modprobe and it can't find it. I've almost given up.
System:
Mepis 64, 6.5 RC1
Asus M2N motherboard
AMD 64 3800+

please check that this is actually a pvr-150, as it seems that not every pvr-150 is what it seems.
Check lspci -v and /var/log/dmesg.
i strongly suggest that you join the ivtv mailgroup if reading the archives doesn't help

lspci -v shows:
0000:01:0a.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc iTVC16 (CX23 416) MPEG-2 Encoder (rev 01)

I'm not sure what to look for in /var/log/dmesg. Here is part of it that talks about bttv driver:
[ 27.488620] lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven).
[ 27.796415] eth0: no link during initialization.

[ 29.086859] cdrom: open failed.
[ 29.089069] cdrom: open failed.
[ 29.238502] eth0: link up.
If somebody can solve this, they're a lot smarter than I am. I personally thinks it's impossible.

you will have to install ivtv driver.
there are different versions for each kernel version.
or you can wait until mepis gets to the very very newest kernel, when ivtv will be part of the kernel.
head off to the ivtv mailing list and join up.
