[mythtv-users] PVR-250 vs PVR-250MCE

[David Davis]

I am unable to get ivtv to install properly.  I still get the ivtv errors
and dmesg now looks like this:
i2c-core.o: i2c core module version 2.8.4 (20040207)
Linux video capture interface: v1.00
ivtv: version 0.1.10 (0.1.10pre2-ck96i) loading
ivtv: Error detecting PCI card
I have tried installing and removing everything having to do with ivtv.  No
luck.  Any ideas?  Thanks for all the help!
