Hi everyone, I have a problem with my PVR-150 card.   It is a PVR-150 
MCE-kit.  You can look at it here:

http://www.hauppauge.com/pages/products/data_pvr150mcekit.html

According to this website:

http://www.diy-pvr-dvr-htpc.com/index.php/Difference_Between_Retail_and_MCE_Hauppauge_cards

the "box number" is 1062.



Anyway, I was following this guide to install MythTv:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=186747

and I can't get past the IVTV part.  Everything seems to work beautify 
up until the part where I actually test IVTV.  To test I run the command

mplayer -vo xv /dev/video0


and now I get a window with static.  The static is not exactly what I 
would call "snow", rather its dark staticy lines with some random color 
lines thrown in there.  So the first time I figured I did something 
wrong so I reformatted and started the guide over from scratch.  Same 
thing happens.  I try changing the channel using

ivtv-tune -c # -d /dev/video0


and that doesn't do anything.  It doesn't even flicker, like you might 
expect if you were flipping through static channels on your tv.  Also 
when I plug the coaxial cable in and out, I see no visual change. 

So to play around, I plug my gamecube into the composite input and after 
much research, I change the input source using the command

ivtvctl -p #

and get it to look at the gamecube.  Yay it works!  But I still can't 
get the coaxial input to work, which is the whole point.  I tried 
playing around some more and doing things like using the files from here:

http://dl.ivtvdriver.org/ivtv/firmware/firmware.tar.gz

but I dont think that made a difference.

So I guess my question is how can I get the "tuner" part of my card to work?
