[mythtv-users] PVR-150 broken?

I've got a machine that was working under FC3, and I recently did an
install of FC5 with ATrpms, and more recently updated everything
(including mythtv). I don't think my problem is specific to MythTV,
because I can't "mplayer /dev/video0" either, so that means either
something is wrong with my device driver configuration, or the card is
just broke. The remote works via LIRC, so I think I can rule out "card
not seated" and that sort of thing. Here's the IVTV output from dmesg.
The "i2c addr not found" messages are worrisome. Except for those, the
rest of this is very similar to what I see on my MBE that has a PVR-500
(which is working fine). But of course Myth craps out if I try to watch
live TV on this machine (because it uses that tuner), and
"mplayer /dev/video0" just hangs (no errors after "Playing /dev/video0",
just no window ever pops up).

I have seen the previous threads (including some on the ivtv-users list) 
about people having similar problems. The suggestions ranged from "your
card is broken" to "turn the 
machine off and make sure you leave it off for at least 30 seconds" (tried
it, more than once, it didn't work) to "downgrade your ivtv driver" (which was a discussion about
the old 0.4 series driver) to putting options in the modprobe.conf file
("options cx25840 i2c_enable=1", which barfs that i2c_enable is an unknown
module parameter and fails to load). So it is obvious that any advice on this
particular problem is version-specific, so I'm asking again. 

I'm running FC5, 2096 kernel, fully updated ATrpms, ivtv 0.6.1
