[mythtvnz] PVR500 and recording collisions

[Kyle]

Yes, cat from the card works fine.

Table looks fine(although wll probably be mangled by the email client)
Dmesg looks fine, I may have upgraded ivtv without noticing (yay for apt)
but its all still running..)

Have installed the latest mythupdates last night.. will have a look
tonight.. all looked ok in my quick look through the configuration screens..


No doubt it will be something silly. Thought it may have been a common
problem or something.

Thats good - means that your ivtv driver is working.  If you use
  ivtv-tune -d /dev/video1 -c 8
then
  cat /dev/video1 > video1.mpg
then ^C after 5 or 10 secs then
  xine video1.mpg
do you get the right channel?  (thats TV2 in Chch)

Sounds like myth has managed to forget something.  Have you recently
upgraded ivtv?  the names of the tuners changed.

Check out the cardinput table in mysql...  see if there are extra lines.
Compare that with the dmesg output relating to ivtv.
