I'm using the atrpms. Besides installing the nVidia drivers by hand,
it's a vanilla installation via Jarod's Fedora guide.

I'll try removing my PVR-150 card, and see if that fixes things. I
hope that's not the case, though, as I still watch a lot of regular
content, and I'd hate to lose the PVR card in this box (not to mention
I use the PVR's remote).

Well, after a little more searching, I found the following threads:

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/151628?search_string=hd3000%20pvr-150
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/ivtv/devel/24044?search_string=tveeprom;#24044

Looks like there's a known conflict between the PVR-150 and the HD3000
with the latest ivtv drivers. So much for my vanilla install ...

I think I'm gonna try installing the 0.37a drivers by hand, as
recommended, and see if that makes my cards play nice. I'll report
back what happens, though it might take me a while :)
