Dustin, I also am using a PVR-250 but on a Gentoo/P4 machine - not AMD_64 - and I'm also getting blank recordings. I think the problem is in the way I've done the connections page.
Are you able to get TV by setting the default input to the Tuner? I haven't tried that. Well, I did tell mythtv-setup to make the default input the tuner but when I start mythfrontend it still comes up using Composite 0. Anyway, I think the blank screen may not be AMD_64 but that we're bothing doing something wrong with the connections page. Jsut my guess.
