I have a single PVR-250 card and record from the Svideo input. It works
wonderfully. However I don't recall having to do anything special when
installing it. I just checked my settings in mythtv-setup. "Capture
Cards" just has one device. '/dev/v4l/video0'. The card type of this
device is "MPEG-2 Encoder card (PVR-250, PVR-350). The default input is
"S-Video 0".
But then in "Input Connections", I have ten listings. All are "[MPEG:
/dev/v4l/video0]" and then appended to it I have "Composite 0" through
"Composite 4", "Tuner 0", and "S-Video 0" through "S-Video 3". I am
sure I did not create all of these.
I'm sorry I am not more help. Maybe by my descriptions of my setup you
will see something that helps you figure it out.
Good Luck,
Drew
