Thanks for replying. I am using europe-west, which I have been using
since 2004. Also there has been no changes in this for a few years.
And I have always had to input my own frequencies via mythweb (have
checked these and they look correct), so I do not think this is the
problem.

I deleted the cards, and added them again, but that doesn't seem to
have made any difference. Just to double-check, a PVR-150 is a MPEG-2
Encoder Card, right?

I also found  v4l2-ctl and it seems to show the right frequency when
recording. Also I have changed channels and tried to cat to a
temp-file and watching that in vlc with the same result (static)

I have an old PVR-350 somewhere that I will test. Maybe both of my
PVR-150's broke? Sounds weird, but..

It seems to be very difficult to find an analogue card in Europe these
days.. And because of cost reasons I'd rather not upgrade to digital.
