My tuner card is the Hauppauge PVR-150 which is connected directly from the cable outlet to the tuner card. I am not using the digital cable box (although that didn't work either). I do not have the computer connected to a TV. The card seems to be working perfectly when using cat /dev/video0 > file.mpg and can be tuned using the ivtv-tune -c # command. I can connect to mysql and can download the TV listings.

A small file (datetime.nuv) shows up in /var/lib/mythtv/video, but is very small and stops writing after a minute or so. I have tried Cable-US, Cable-HRC and Cable-IRC. I also don't know what to use for the transporter frequency.

Since it is giving you a .nuv file I would suspect that you did not pick the
card type to be correct in setup -> capture cards, and that you selected a v4l card.
Check the other card types and on the PVR-150 it has to be mpeg-2 encoder card
and not analog v4l card.
