Fedora 8 and a Hauppauge PVR-350

[R. G. Newbury]

First my bad, I guess I was anticipating Fedora 9, I'm still running
Fedora 8.... sorry for the confusion..

I tried installing ivtv and I had no luck:

[root at wisdom yum.repos.d]# yum install ivtv
Loading "fastestmirror" plugin
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
  * livna: mirror.atrpms.net
  * fedora: mirror.umoss.org
  * adobe-linux-i386: linuxdownload.adobe.com
  * updates: mirror.umoss.org
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
No package ivtv available.
Nothing to do


I did however find ivtv-firmware and installed that.

What repo can I find ivtv?

************************
You will always experience dependency problems if you have atrpms and 
livna enabled at the same time, and do indiscriminate updates. They each 
have mutually contradictory copies of some packages.

You need to enable atrpms and disable the livna repo in /etc/yum.repos.d
Before you go any further, go to rpm.livna.org and look at the available 
rpms. You want to REMOVE any of them which you have installed ( rpm -qa 
| grep whatever) while you fix things.

Then, with atrpms enabled, you can go to atrpms.net and look at the 
available packages and install what you need, including the entire 
mythtv-suite, ivtv and ivtv-firmware, using yum. Jarod Wilson's guide is 
still the install cook-book, even though written for fedora 6. Things 
have only gotten easier since then.

NOTHING on atrpms will conflict with fedora or fedora-updates and you 
should have no dependency problems. Basically all of the needed 
libraries are on atrpms.net.

When you are done with atrpms, you can enable livna (and disable atrpms: 
never both together!), to install the few remaining programs which you 
might want, such as xine-extras-non-free, or a pre-made nvidia + kernel 
module combination.

For the same reasons, you should be careful with dag's repo.
