[mythtv-users] PVR-350 unable to tune any channel...

Hallo,

i am working for some days now to get my PVR-350 working on my Debian 
"Sarge" box. I managed to use TV-Out with cat somevideo.mpg > 
/dev/video16 and to watch pictures from my digital camera via S-Video input.

When i try to tune chanels i only get grey/black noise on screen. I am 
in Berlin, Germany an have analog cable tv.

Can someone post his configuration, modprobe.conf ect. because i am 
getting a little confused...

Maybe the problem is to set the right tuner (Type 38 i think) and input 
in modprobe.conf

Here is my dmesg output:
