Hi again;  I've been Googling this, and although the log snippet above 
hints at a DB access problem I suspect that you may be out of luck with 
attempts to use the analogue side of this device in recent versions of 
MythTV.  I believe it's a 'framegrabber' and, as you have seen here 
there is little interest in them now.  The digital side may still be ok.
