[mythtv-users] PVR-150 & MythTV Size issues.

So I got bored by my Mythbox being stable so I went out and picked up a 
PVR-150 card. With the latest ivtv on atrpms-testing I can get a picture 
and sound to display. This is a good sign. Though when using it within 
MythTV it shows 480x480 rather then the 720x480 that my PVR-250 happily 
shows me. From what I can tell MythTV is setting the display back to 
480x480 even if I force it over to 720x480. Let me show you some output:

###Changing the format.
[root at myth ~]# /usr/bin/ivtvctl --device=/dev/video1 -f width=720,height=480
ioctl: VIDIOC_S_FMT
        Before:
        Type   : Video Capture
        Width  : 480
        Height : 480

        After:
        Type   : Video Capture
        Width  : 720
        Height : 480
###After starting mythbackend and mythfrontend.
[root at myth ~]# /usr/bin/ivtvctl --device=/dev/video1 -F
ioctl: VIDIOC_G_FMT
        Type   : Video Capture
        Width  : 480
        Height : 480

Not too exciting. Though it is what I have. Some version info that I 
have for you:
[root at myth ~]# /usr/bin/ivtvctl -V
ioctl: IVTV_IOC_G_DRIVER_INFO
 driver info:
   version = 0x00000302 (0.3.2)
   comment = k
[root at myth ~]# /usr/bin/ivtvctl -m
ioctl: VIDIOC_QUERYCAP
        Driver name   : ivtv
        Card type     : WinTV PVR 250
        Bus info      : 0
        Driver version: 770
        Capabilities  : 0x01070011

I am really looking for the place to make the change for this. I don't 
see anything in the database that stands out to me as the thing to 
change so that this will be fixed. It is really a pain because it 
streaches off of the screen because of the missing 240x480 of the image. 
I will be thankful for any help.
