Hi Hans,
Sorry for my late answer, but I had an hard week end :) I'm still with
svn version 2693, but I'll try the latest version and send you my report
as soon as possible.
I have a pvr150.
For now (2693) :
I have a PVR-150MCE (sold as a 250MCE in a box so labelled, but an identical card to a 150-mce bought later)
I'm using the latest svn as of yesterday.

This is ok for me.

The stability of the picture seems it might be a little unstable. A restart of mythtv seemed to get around the picture problems. It was like the card was splitting into sections, I could see part of one channel in onepart another in another and classic untuned pciture in another corner; never seen this before...

Yep. I have this problem with 2693. But I'll tell you if I still have
this problem with the latest svn version.

With my card, I see ghosts when I watch the TV. Always 2 or 3 ghosts of
people. I don't know if it's my antenna or the driver.
Most usually my picture quality is excellent. The best I ever had was with release around the 27th of June (0.36h?), nothing short of perfect, but a forced m/b & processor upgrade toward the end of August has left me with a dud system till now.
