What exactly did you do to go from here to working?  I think I'm
getting close to that same point but don't know what to do from here. 
This PVR150 is giving me a run for my money.  I finally got pictures
and sound from cat /dev/video but got a blackscreen and had to kill X
when I tried to set mythtv to watch it.

Any help would be appreciated!
