The text description output by lspci doesn't matter, don't worry that one says "Encoder" and the other says "Decoder". lspci -nnv will show the PCI IDs that the driver code examines. (BTW, even though the PVR-250 only performs MPEG encoding, the very old PVR-250 v1 cards, like yours, had a CX23415 encoder/decoder chip.) 1. Please provide all of the lines in /var/log/messages between ivtv Start initialization, version x.y.z and ivtv: End initialization (Anonymize any data that you think needs to be anonymized.) 2. Could you please be more specific about what you mean by stating "PVR-250 card does not work anymore"? What specifically is not working, or what symptoms lead you to this conclusion?
