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.
