[mythtv-users] Video capture problems with Hauppauge WinTV-PVR 250

[Allan Wilson]

I have the exact same card as you and it has been long enough now that I 
don't remember exactly what I did to fix my problems but one difference I 
did notice was my permissions on /dev/video:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Sep 3 08:37 /dev/video -> video0

It does sound like you need to use ivtvctl to pickup from the right source. 
Let me know what else you need to help. I am running on FC3, if that would 
help you.
