pvr-350 – From the STB to my screen
by jammie on Jan.18, 2009, under tv/video, ubuntu
At home I have my virgin STB connected up to a old 450mhz server. I then use this machine to forward the picture onto which ever machine I am using at the time. I found that adding the following line to a script that is run at startup (mine runs within my vlc init.d script) solves all the problems i was seeing with the pvr-350:
v4l2-ctl –set-ctrl temporal_filter=0 –set-input=5
Once this line is in place the ghosting issues i was seeing vanished. The set-input of course tells the pvr to use the scart input.
This post is mainly for a reminder in the case i ever rebuild this box. However there is possibly some chance someone might find this useful!
