   Those saa modules aren't even used by a PVR-350.  They're for AGP graphics cards. 

   I think I've found my problem.  Here's what I did: I picked a channel that I like (History Channel, #60 on my cable), and found the HRC frequency by going to www.jneuhaus.com/fccindex/cablech.html.  I took the frequency, multiplied by 16, which go me 7008.  I then did this:

ivtvctl -r 7008; DISPLAY=":0.0" mplayer /dev/video0

   This worked fine -- I got to see the channel played in mplayer.  This proves my ivtv driver is installed fine.

   I think the problem is with the frequency table data being supplied by DataDirect.  But I really have no idea where that data is stored and how to check it.  I hope someone can help?
