pvr-350 not working - how to debug?

Wed Apr 11 01:40:03 UTC 2007

Hi, I got some success for my pvr-350
-on FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE-200703:

I was able to compile both of the below ports successfully, (patched/rebuilt 
kernel/loaded cxm drivers,...) using;
pvrxxx-20070904, and then the
pvrxxx-20071004  port.

-I've included the /var/log/messages of each of the above respectives ports, 
since the messages output was so radically different -maybe of interest ?

In either case, I could "cat /dev/cxm0 > file.mpg" (...then use mplayer) and 
see static screen.
Also, if I tried "pvr250-setchannel -a on -m 1 13" - everything hung and 
then just "crashed" the whole system.
-It didn't like no Tuner ?, and/or I guess we now have to preset the channel 
frequency for
testing a channel output?

Here's messages from last two newest ports;
