Are you 100% sure it's a pvr-250 ?
Normaly a pvr-250 should show something like with lspci:
02:01.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc iTVC16
(CX23416) MPEG-2 Encoder (rev 01)
Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc. WinTV PVR 250
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 217
Memory at f8000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=64M]
Capabilities: <access denied>
a Brooktree BT878 is only a "normal" TV-Card without any mpeg capability like
i have in a second machine and lspci shows:
01:08.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture
(rev 11)
Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc. WinTV Series
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 209
Memory at d3000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=4K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
greets,
