[mythtv-users] PVR250 No video and no lirc remote

It sounds like it's trying to get video from the svideo, or rca port on the
PVR250 card.  go back into mythtvsetup, and make sure your using /dev/video0
in Capture Cards, and that it's setup to use the tuner port on the card in
the Input Connections.  Don't associate any of the other ports on the card
such as the composites, and S-Video with your cable provider.  Once all that
is taken care of, open mythfrontend, and goto watch live tv, and try an
change to a channel that you know has video.
