1. Are you sure, it's the PVR-150's imgae and not the HVR-1600's image.
I goofed up the CX23418 A/V decoder's video scaler setting and the fix
just went to the main v4l-dvb repository around Monday or Tuesday.
In /var/log/messages you may see "cx18-0 843: invalid size" (or
something like that) if that is the case.

2. When the PVR-150 image is wrong can you do a 

$ v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --log-status
$ v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video1 --log-status

And post the results.

3. Also, MythTV can do Picture in picture.  What do various PiP
combinations look like?
