[Wlug] Hauppauge 500 woes

[Mike]

Sorry that email was pretty rushed [because I'm in the office]. Here is
the directions I plan on following tonight:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Install_IVTV_Feisty

Note the bottom which states "Newer Firmware".

I'll give it a shot. If that doesn't make a difference I could try the DVD
player idea. Actually I think my VHS player is the only one with an RF
out.

If the VHS player is fine do you think it is a signaling problem?
