font-family:Arial'>I have a PVR-250. An older model that came with the black
remote. It was installed on a myth system using Fedora Core 1. After about a
month or 2 of use the myth system wouldn’t play live TV anymore. I’d
just get a black screen. I looked at it, but I don’t know anything about Linux
so I decided to just reinstall with Fedora Core 3 to see if the card was fried.
When I finished the install all was fine again (the Monday after Thanksgiving).
I’ve been using the system since then. Yesterday I booted the system and
again I get the black screen. I dove in to the logs and saw that when
mythbackend started it gave the error message could not open /dev/video no such
file or directory. At the same time I could not play back my recorded shows
that showed in the recorded program list on the mythfrontend. I had lost my
mount to the drive that contained them.</span></font></p>

font-family:Arial'>All that to say I tried the reinstall fix again a nd while I
was in the process of following Jarod’s directions (I wouldn’t have
mythTV without him) I tried to set the resolution on the card and got an error
message saying /dev/video0- could not allocate memory. I went through all three
steps trying to set the card up for capture and continued to get the same
error. I tried the old windows trick and rebooted. Now I get the Failed to open
/dev/video0: no such file or directory.</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Any help would be appreciated. It sounds like the system is
losing communication with the capture card and probably the card has gone bad
on me, but I’d like some to confirm this for ma before I trash it.</span></font></p>
