i have a pvr-350 installed, and i can watch mythtv on my TV.
i am unable to watch LIVE-TV. i have no input.
i have connected the Cable TV to the card.
 how do i check if i have a signal ?
 i tried
cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg, but the .mpg file contains nothing.
tried video1, 2, 64
 i have a PAL card.
 the /etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv file contains
 
 alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c
#options ivtv debug=1
#options tuner type=2
options msp3400 once=1 simple=1 

install ivtv /sbin/modprobe tuner; /sbin/modprobe msp3400; /sbin/modprobe 
saa7115; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ivtv; /sbin/modprobe ivtv-fb; 
/sbin/modprobe lirc_i2c
remove ivtv /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove ivtv && /sbin/modprobe -r 
saa7115 && /sbin/modprobe -r msp3400 && /sbin/modprobe -r tuner && 
/sbin/modprobe -r ivtv-fb && /sbin/modprobe -r lirc_i2c 
 and the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file contains
