No.

:-) I know...  I can't figure out why my new 0.20 install sees and 
configures my pcHDTV3000 card, but won't let me channel scan it....

debian Etch (testing/unstable), self-compiled 2.6.18, self-compiled myth 
0.20, here's what it took to get PVR-150 fully recognized and tuning:

ivtv                  176720  0
wm8775                  8076  0
cx25840                25872  0
cx2341x                12932  1 ivtv

Make sure you have the right firmware in /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware:

dionysus:/usr/lib/hotplug/firmware# ls
v4l-cx2341x-dec.fw  v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw  v4l-cx25840.fw
