I took a look, and it does indeed say Tuner 0 in mythtv-setup.
Running 'ivtvctl -d/edv/video1 -a' gives the following, which seems
to match up correctly.
Input : 4
Name : Tuner 0
Type : 0x00000001
Audioset: 0x00000003
Tuner : 0x00000000
Standard: 0x0000000000003000 ( NTSC )
Status : 0
'cat /dev/video1 > test.mpg' works as well, as does live TV tuning.
One thing I should add is that while channel scanning within
mythtv-setup finds all of my channels, it loses all the station
info (it just finds Channel 2 instead of KTVU for Channel 2, CSPAN
for Channel 22, etc.), so instead of scanning for channels on the
PVR-250, I choose to download it from zap2it. Should I not do
that? I do select 'Delete channels' after setting up my cards from
scratch, but I'm wondering if some channel information on the DB
isn't actually deleted and is causing some conflict?
