Don't get too worked up over this, it's not worth it. Firstly, I suggest that you look at http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html It's hard to know how to ask questions and what people are looking for, this should help.
Make sure you don't have the wrong tuner module loaded. Search under /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ for tuner.ko. The ivtv version will be under /lib/modules/`uname -r`/extra/, if you have any others delete (or rename) them and rerun 'depmod -a'. Do the same for tveeprom.ko while you're there. Next, have you tried the cardtype option to ivtv? When you modprobe, try modprobe ivtv cardtype=2. This forces the card to a 250 IIRC. Check the modules.txt file in the doc/ directory under the driver source, it should confirm it. I recently bought a PVR 250 MCE card that is actually a 150. I've only seen these in Australia, but it doesn't mean it's not happening! Also, the capacitors on the cards hold charge for a long time, which can cause weirdness. Try turning off the machine (even unplug it!) for a minute or two, and then try again. The best way to test the card is not to use Myth. Use cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg, and see if you can play the file with mplayer. Use ptune or ptune-ui to tune channels. This will help isolate the actual cause of the problem. See the wiki pages for the perl requirements for ptune.
