[mythtv-users] PVR-150/mythtv setup

[paulg]

I've been following Jarod's fine HowTo to get mythtv working with my 
Hauppauge WinTV-PRV 150 on FC4. I've watched and listened to captured tv 
with "cat" and "mplayer" combination so I believe the card and sound are 
working. Irc isn't yet but mythtv just goes to a black screen when I try 
to watch tv. Below are the error messages and the dmseg log. I guess 
it's likely I did something wrong in the mythtv setup. Any suggestions?
