Brad,
This site was mentioned by blastzone in a recent message to the list.

Note that he is using the HD3000 card, at first, under NTSC... loading it
*first* at /dev/video0.
Right at the bottom he is doing the QAM scans, outside Myth.
Once I switched to DVB, the card was detected right away.
Because when booting up, the init process creates a video0 device for
cx88xx (for some reason, I can't figure out why), my PVR-250 is video1.
I also don't know why some people say that cx88-dvb should be loaded first and
some after
ivtv.
Follolwing David Elllis, who has this working here in Toronto, I think you
have to use the kernel tveeprom (note he uses the aliased tveeprom-ivtv)
and load cvx88-dvb and cx88-atsc *after* ivtv.
Then its a matter of getting the video, audio and service id's into the
database.. which David has figured out.
Difficulty it getting the vid/aid and pid numbers if you are doing this on
cable.
I did the channel scan and the xmltvid record was filled in for all
channels.
After reset up the HD3000 to a DVB card, and scanned the channels, I
tried to view TV but it just timed out.
I tried to record a minute on HD3000 and nothing. I tried on the PVR-250
and it's still working.
But, no livetv. I assume that I don't get live tv because it's using the
HD3000 card to tune livetv. I don't know why this is.
Note that blastzone was doing it on cable, so maybe the dvb tools package
is all I need.... if I can get it to compile!
Good luck! Sheesshh.. This is more difficult than it should be.
I'm using OTA... but I don't see it as easier!
