Hi all,
its me again,ha ha, sorry I forgot to setchannel - And (thanks Greg), I just
found your older thread regarding "cxm0: video decoder isn't locked ... "
:(
-I rebooted, (without) the cxm modules loaded and then "kldload cxm,..."
(and of course setting up tuner/channel should help ;)
/usr/local/bin/pvr250-setchannel -a on -m 1 13
ok, yipee, I got Channel 13 (NTSC, Ottawa, Canada)
NOTE:
1st:/ I initialy tried installing with the "pvrxxx" port. but no go.
2nd:/ I don't know if its was usleeps "pvrxxx_port-01042007.tgz" port
install (which didn't seem to work, but it did appear to make a couple
changes?, or it might have been me, ?)
3./ In either caes, I then (re)installed a fresh
/usr/ports/multimedia/pvr250 <- which did install successfully this time and
I was able to load the cxm drivers, ...
-anyway, jus' wanted to note this for anyone who has a newer pvr-350
(North-america NTSC) which may be similar.
-I'm sure much better instructions and port updates will follow.
Thanks so very much guys/gals
and MythTV, here I come !
Rick.
