If the PCI device ID isn't recognized, 0.3 versions assume it's a 
PVR-150.  0.2 versions assume it's a PVR-250, so you could just use 0.2.x...

The right solution, however, is to get the card recognized (basically, 
the info needs added to ivtv-cards.c)...  From the IvyTV initialization 
log messages:

ivtv: ==================== START INIT IVTV ====================
ivtv: version x.x.x (xxxx) loading
ivtv: Linux version: x.x.x
ivtv: In case of problems please include the debug info
ivtv: between the START INIT IVTV and END INIT IVTV lines when
ivtv: mailing the ivtv-devel mailinglist.

(and also post the output of lspci -v and a note saying your card isn't 
recognized.)
