Childe, Thanks very much. I think this is helping. After many problems today I'm back to having at least the test method for the PVR-150 correctly storing files using cat and then playing them back using mplayer.
Now I'm trying to get mythsetup done correctly. I'm guessing a bit here. Can you tell me how you set yours up in the backend? 1) Since the PVR-150 is supposed to be a cost reduced version of the 250 I've chosen my capture card type to be a PVR-250/350. Is this what you did? 2) I've set the video device as /dev/v4l/video0 and the tuner as Tuner0. (Do you also have 'Tuner1' as an option?) 3) Under input connections I've set Tuner0->Adelphia (The name of my cable TV service at this location. This all makes basic sense, but when I try to watch TV I only get a black screen, no audio, and I have to Ctrl-C out of the terminal to get back. I cannot hit escape to exit the watch TV screen. Help! I think I'm pretty close!
