You just wrote the HOWTO I was working on :) I had not tried the latest 
CVS dvb-kernel code and was running the one from mid December but 2.6.10 
has been working like a charm and my PVR-250 is happy with 
ivtv-0.2.0-rc3b and that kernel.

Anyways, I'm really happy with the Air2PC card. There are 2 outstanding 
problems right now: the TV guide and bad sound from 780p programming. 
Guess these problems are not due to the card.
