I've posted over on the TV Headend forums but thought I might try here for some help as well.
I have a Hauppauge HVR-1950 and am trying to tune analog cable TV. After more searching than I care to remember I have diagnosed that my problem is that Tvheadend is locking the DTV tuner on as soon as it starts. I have confirmed this by checking the value in my enum_val file with Tvheadend running and not running. I have also confirmed that the tuner works and have had a working Myth setup.
I have no desire to tune HDTV on my HVR-1950. So my question is how can I disable the DTV tuner?
Please be kind as I know very little about Linux.
My Setup:
Ubuntu 10.04
Tvheadend 2.12
Hauppauge HVR-1950
More info...
When I stop Tvheadend and do this "cat /dev/vide0 >/tmp/foo.mpg" it works. My enum_val file narrows to television and the foo.mpg file shows video. As soon as I start Tvheadend the enum_val goes back to DTV.
I think this confirms that Tvheadend is locking the tuner on DTV.
Is there a command I can put somewhere to tell Tvheadend to ignore the DVB tuner? Or maybe tell it to only use the "television" input?
Any help will be very appreciated.
