Most folks buy their TV's at places like Sears or Best Buy, and there's a lot to be said for plunking your credit card down and driving home with a functional television set. But that's not my style. I've been using a Commodore 64 color monitor hooked up to a VCR since the late 80's and it's worked great. On the other hand, VCR's are going the way of the dodo and a 13" television with weak mono sound isn't much fun so I should probably upgrade.
Line: 144 to 144
 
  • upgrade debian to 2.6.15, which didn't work off the bat. I had to make an initd that didn't use lvm. I used the yaird tool, e.g. $ mkinitrd.yaird -o /tmp/initrd 2.6.15-1-686-smp. This boots OK.
  • Now that I'm on 2.6.15 the module-assistant prepare command works.
  • $ sudo module-assistant auto-install ivtv0.4

  • download pvr_2.0.24.23035.zip from the link on http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Firmware, unzip and copy the files to the hotplug directory. I only had to copy the files in "step 1", to the hotplug directory.
  • = $ modprobe ivtv=
  • Because the pvr-500 records the sound itself there's no soundcard configuration, which is nice.
