[mythtv-users] IVTV Error -19

Hi all,

Can anyone make sense of this IVTV initialization snafu?

My Hauppauge PVR-150 suddenly stopped while I was using Myth.  When I  
try to access the tuner (i.e., watching live TV) it gives the regular  
complaint that the TV Tuner is in use, while in fact nothing is in  
the recording queue.   I tried re-running mythtv-setup to reconfigure  
the tuner, and then discovered /dev/video0 was missing.

The tuner wasn't being initialized, and after reinstalling and  
rebuilding several versions of IVTV, I'm stumped.   Is the card  
shot?  Any suggestions?

I'm a 64 AMD box running Ubuntu 7.04 and Myth 0.20.2.

Thanks,
Dustin
