I bought a PVR 250 and wanted to use it with myth.
I have got the drivers loaded and it seems to work.
I have configured myth with the card using /dev/video0 and /dev/vbi0. Sound I 
can only choose /dev/dsp is that right? I have selected default input as 
Tuner 0. The problem is all I get is static noise. I live in Denmark so I 
have tried setting frequencies manually. I have tried different numbers but 
no change. Btw. is it in MHz your are setting the frequency

I have also tried playing /dev/video0 with mplayer and use ivtvctl to set 
frequency. Still only static. I have tried the cable in use on a TV and the 
signal is fine.

In dmesg I get the following errors. Does they matter?
ivtv: i2c client addr: 0x61 not found!
ivtv: i2c client addr: 0x40 not found!

I guess maybe the problem is that mythbackend writes the following when I try 
to change channel.
...

"setup" Channel Editor.
