Jarod - Thank you for taking time to post a response!
I removed all lines except those that were in the guide and everything appeared to be the same (did do a reboot). I will search for the IVTV list and try there too.

Subject: ivtv and fc2 headache
I searched the posts and did not see an answer to this issue. If it is a repeat I apologize.
I follwed Jarods woderful guide to install the latest version of mythtv on fc2. Unfortunatly I can not seem to get my PVR card to work correctly. Currently all I get are grey streaks. On my FC1 system with the older version I am not running into this issue. As usual, when it comes to linux, I am sure I am doing something wrong - but can't figure it out. General hardware is an athlon2800 using pvr250 with nvidia geforce fx 440, and soundblaster Audigy2.
I have been testing using cat /dev/video0 > /tmp/test.mpg
occasionally I will get sound. I have alos tried using ivtvctl -p (0-8) just to see if the change made a difference.
It appears the card is being recognized, lspci -v:

My modprobe.conf looks like this:

alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
options ivtv ivtv_debug=1 tuner=2
options msp3400 once=1 simpler=1 simple=0
# end ivtv
The one change I did make (which I don't think should have affected anything) was that, after loading the new kernel and booting to it kudzu would freeze. I did some research and was able to stop this from happening by adding the following to the modprobe.conf:
alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394
I would appreciate any advice. Thank you for your time!

Remove those last two "options" lines (which are not in my doc anymore),
reboot, and see if things play nice. If not, report back. However, you should
probably take this to the ivtv list.
