Just for reference, I yanked a PVR-250 and HVR-1250 in favor of an
HVR-1600 in my backend just a few days ago, and with 0.24.1+, they
it works just fine with the digital side configured as a DVB DTV
card and the analog side as an MPEG-2 encoder card.

Could well be an insufficiently new myth build to deal with the
removal of v4l1 interfaces in 2.6.38 and up, which is what I'm
assuming Mike was getting at.
