[mythtv-users] Not sure what else to try

Mine seem to be working almost right out of the box.  I ran into a
problem where the bttv would grab video0 before the pvr250 and scratch
my head for awhile on that, but other than that it seem to be pretty
painless.

Here are my suggestions, try:
1.  version 0.3.5l (indicated below)
2.  ATrpm kernel 2.6.10-1.770_14.rhfc3.at
3.  Firmware that was shipped on the cd.
4.  Removing all other capture cards.
