Using either a 2.6.25-rcX kernel or a kernel >= 2.6.22 together with the bleeding-edge driver (http://www.ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Download#Bleeding_Edge_driver) will fix any i2c conflicts. It's not easy to detect i2c conflicts: I can tell whether that happens if you would mail me your full dmesg output. But if there are no other PCI cards besides the PVR150, then i2c conflicts are very unlikely. However, if you also have a DVB card installed next to the PVR150, then conflicts are definitely a possibility.
