It depends on how new your PVR-250 card is.  The pcHDTV replacement 
tuner.ko doesn't support LG TAPE or TCL 2002N tuners which have become 
very prevalent the last few months in the newer PVR-250 cards.  There 
are also other tuners and many cx88 changes that aren't in there.  So 
the HD-3000 probably won't co-exist very well with the newer ATI TV 
Wonder cards some people are using with Myth.
