I'm not sure of your issue specifically, but to answer your questions 
about remotes, the remote has nothing to do with the card specifically.  
Your PVR-250 capture card is really 2 devices to Myth, a video device 
(/dev/video(0|1)) and an LIRC device (the IR receiver part).  As long as 
LIRC is able to communicate with the remote it should work.  That being 
said, double check your ~/.mythtv/lircrc file which is the one that 
MythTV uses if you are set up for native LIRC support.  It could be, for 
whatever reason, that you have your ~/.lircrc file which LIRC by default 
uses set up right, but are missing the entries in ~/.mythtv/lircrc which 
Myth uses.
