Odd. I'm having much better luck with the 21288 firmware... The M179  
comes up video0, the PVR-250 video1... 21226 produces heavy artifacts  
on the PVR-250 on my rig. I do have occasional problems with the M179  
not initializing on reboot, but a quick rmmod ivtv modprobe ivtv has  
fixed it every time. No chance to try and track the problem down just  
yet...
