The CX25843 chip on your PVR-150 is most likely dead.  All analog video
and audio processing goes through the CX25843 chip.  If the CX25843 is
dead, then your PVR-150 is useless.

The list below had all my suggestions.  If none of them result in the
PVR-150 working, then it is time to throw your broken PVR-150 in the
trash can.
