I think I may be in a simular situation... 
First, a description of my setup.

AMD 64 3200+
1 Gig ram
36 Gig 10K RPM boot drive
1.2 Terabyte SATA Raid 5 Array (5 x 300G SATA drives)
PVR-250
Cox Cable/Scientific Atlanta 3250 (Firewire output to PC)

Running Fedora Core 3 x86_64, latest stable kernel (2.6.12-???)(Not at
home right now)
MythTV Latest Version x86_64

My intention is to be able to record standard def channels over the
PVR-250, and the digital/HD channels via Firewire.

I've had a few issues, but I am able to stream HD from the Firewire.

What seems to be the problem right now is that I am only able to use
the source that is listed first. I've not yet tested if I can record
from both.. but I can't watch live TV except from the source that is
first listed..

Started with my PVR-250 working, but no luck on the Firewire… Decided
to remove the PVR to make sure there was no confusion. When Firewire
is the only source, I can generally view it. I added the PVR back and
when I try to change to a standard def channel… Nothing happens.

I would expect that it would change to the source that has that
channel in it's lineup.

I have 2 different, non-overlapping channel lineups created on
zap2it.com. Standard Def channels do not come over the Firewire, and
the PVR-250 as you may know can't do HD/digital cable.

I have LIRC setup with a IRBlaster and it is properly changing the
channel for my SA3250, the PVR allowed channel changing from the
start.

Any help would be appreciated.
