Hi Peter,
Thanks for the output. You didn't get the debugging turned on, but it
was still a little helpful anyway.
I have a PVR-350 which is almost identical to the PVR-250 when it comes
to the chips it uses to do video capture.
With the latest v4l-dvb drivers built from the source repository at
http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb
I get this log status output for my PVR-350 when I have an NTSC CVBS
signal coming in on Composite 1:
$ v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video2 -i 2
Video input set to 2 (Composite 1: ok)
$ v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video2 --log-status
Status Log:

The saa7115 is the same video input signal decoder used on the PVR-250.
It should be wired up essentially the same on both the PVR-350 and
PVR-250 (except for perhaps the rear bracket connector since the PVR-350
also provides Video/Audio outputs).
Note what good NTSC video should read in the status: Good, 60 Hz, and
NTSC. Also notice the input on the SAA7115 in use is "Composite 0".
The PVR-250 should be the same.
If you're trying to capture PAL or SECAM instead of NTSC, you should use
v4l2-ctl to set the standard after switching to the Composite input -
don't rely on autodetection.

With my PVR-350, I can capture video and audio and see the video in the
mpg file.
I compared this log-status output with your PVR-250 status output and
the problem does not look like a software problem. If you really want
to confirm it is not a software problem, you can try downloading the
latest linux drivers and compiling and installing them. However, your
1.4.1 driver version indicates your ivtv and saa7115 driver should be
very close to the latest, so I fairly certain it will be a waste of your
time.
I suspect this is a hardware problem. Unless you make the saa7115
happy as seen in the status output, you won't get video. A broken video
cable or connector, a bad saa7115 chip, or a bad video source are my
guesses. Have you tried the analog tuner or SVideo 1?
The PVR 250 should also has an SVideo 2 and Composite 2 input on the
internal white header connector on the card. If you want to wire up
your own cable to Composite 2, the 3rd or 4th answer in this FAQ talks
about the internal white header connector pins - I can't vouch for its
accuracy:
