Morning

I am a big novice!!  After reading artcles on how easy it is these days to 
set up mythtv with Ubuntu (edgy) I thought id give it a go.......

Anyway - ububtu install dobe, universe etc enabled in the reps, no 
problems - mysql etc enabled & password set, mythtv downloaded & installed.
Heres where the trouble startss.....

I ran sudo mythtv-setup & went throught steps 1-4 (well I think I it it 
right.....Im in the Uk so cose theWest Europe option).
When I got to option 5 & did the channel scan, I was taken to another screen 
which said couldn't open capture card device (PVR 350 - ivtv drivers 
downloaded & installed).

The terminal had the following output:
