[mythtv-users] Re: No live tv video with PVR-250

Below is the output from dmesg on startup.  I'm using a Hauppage
PVR-250 (two of them actually,) so I'm pretty sure they're supported,
and I'm pretty sure I've got them set properly.  I specified the
frequency table in mythtvsetup as us-cable, and I've also tried
us-cable-hrc, but neither worked.  Dmesg below
