Mikael, Going into mythtv-setup and changing the cable options around worked for me (it had been set on us-bcast, and I changed it to us-cable and it worked fine, so perhaps yours is set incorrectly as well) when my PVR-500 suddenly stopped working when I upgraded to gutsy. One thing to try is:
cat /dev/video0 > test0.mpg cat /dev/video1 > test1.mpg and let each one run for 5 or 10 seconds and then try and play them back and see if you get a picture out of them. You may need to use ivtv-tune before hand to tune to a certain channel. If you get a good picture out of them then it's probably some software option that needs to be changed instead of a problem with hardware or firmware.
