[mythtv-users] Unknown video codec / Inappropriate ioctl for device?

It looks like the card type is not set right for the PVR-250 (ie. it
thinks it is a normal v4l bttv style card).

I suggest checking in the "setup" program to make sure your card is set as
the appropriate type (hardware MPEG or whatever it's called).

But I'm not sure since I'm new to this MythTV stuff.
