Indeed, I learned about this the same way you did- from this mailing
list.  Hans is pretty good about getting us all to a working state.

While I've never seen those Invalid PGM index messages, the encoder VBI
errors can be fixed in the very same ivtv-streams.c file.  If you look
down just a few lines, you will see where the "encoder VBI"
configuration is.  Set the PCI_DMA_FROMDEVICE to 1 just as you did with
the MPEG, and those should go away, although the errors do seem to be
fairly cosmetic, since everything works just fine as is.  Recompile the
driver with that change, and they will go away.
