[mythtv-users] Unknown video codec / Inappropriate ioctl for device?

Hey everyone.  I started up the backend and all was good.  However, trying to watch
TV resulted in a blank screen.  I ran the backend in the foreground and did this again
to see what had happened and found the following:

Unknown video codec: VIDIOCGCAP :: Inappropriate ioctl for device

This is weird because it was working just fine for a while and just all of a sudden
decided to dump this error on me.  It's really weird.  Below is the complete output
of the backend.  This is MythTV 0.13 if that makes a difference, running on
Fedora Core 1.  Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated.  The card is a
Hauppauge PVR-250 using the ivtv drivers.

James
