I'm using a 2250 but with 0.24.  On the assumption that the setup is 
similar, it looks like you may not have defined any video sources since 
you only have "(None)" as an option.  Like you, I have the 2250 
configured in "Capture Card Setup" as a "DVB DTV capture card (v3.x)" 
for each of the two adapter numbers (0 & 1).  Under "Video Source 
Setup," you need to define where you will get your listing data.  Once 
you do this, you will have a source name that you can use in the "Input 
Connections" screen to link to your capture device.  For instance, if 
you define a video source "OTA" for over-the-air channels, you could 
create an input connection like "[DVB: /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0] 
(DVBInput) -> OTA".
