I have a device with an ID of 4902, so this may not apply, but...

What input are you using on the HD-PVR, component, s-video, or 
composite?  I get an input/output error if I don't have the hdpvr module 
configured to use the right input.  It defaults to component, so if 
you're using s-video or composite, you'll want to add an option:

modprobe hdpvr default_video_input=#

where # is 0=Component, 1=S-Video, 2=Composite

This is only needed if doing the "cat /dev/video0" test.  MythTV 
configures it properly based on your selections in mythtv-setup.
