Understandable. ;p

Hm... Strange. How 'bout the results of those package resolver commands
I sent?

Well, you probably have neither the actual kernel module (since the
above section shows nothing getting installed) or the necessary
firmware.

After a reboot, you'll have to reset the $KERNEL environment variable.
That probably has something to do with your failed kernel module
install. You NEED that kernel module, as well as the firmware, which is
no longer in the rpm, so you'll have to do the following:
# wget
http://hauppauge.lightpath.net/software/pvr250/pvr250_17_21226.exe
# /usr/lib/ivtv/ivtvfwextract.pl pvr250_17_21226.exe
and
# export KERNEL=`uname -r`
# apt-get install ivtv-kmdl-$KERNEL
See how you're doing after that.
