OK, I'm ashamed of myself. Now I have my 150 working great. Turns out I didn't understand how Linux/FC3 load modules in lib/modules/$KVER. I had multiple versions of IVTV in there.
[side note - don't ever put stock in certification tests on resumes - I was once certified as an AIX admin after 2 days with the study guide, and it's taken me 2 months of odd evenings and weekends to get MythTV/FC3/pvr-150 working. And I think Linux is a much easier environment!] Secondly, I had an old line in modprobe.conf aliasing tveeprom as tveeprom-ivtv, which is not found, causing errors I missed in the system log. Fixing these, I have sound and video (excelent quality) on the tuner input. MythTV is working - very nice. I did need one option line in modprobe.conf, as the tuner was auto-detected as type=39, but as per Chris' notes in the QuickInstall guide, it is really 47: # ivtv modules setup alias char-major-81 videodev alias char-major-81-0 ivtv options ivtv ivtv_debug=1 tuner=47,47,47,47 For reference, I have: Via M10000 512MB 160GB 7200 rpm 16x DVD 200W 12v ps PVR-150 non-MCE NTSC in an old Mac Plus case. Lots of venting on those. Kind of looks like R2D2 when the DVD pops out of one of the top vents :-) Now on to troubleshooting lirc and via Unichrome. I see that Terry Barnaby just posted RPMs today for 2.6.10-1.770, which is what I've been waiting for.
