[mythtv-users] PVR-350 Strangeness

All,
I have run MythTV 0.21 on my new Ubuntu 8.04 Desktop for about a week now,
while I waited for my PVR-350 to arrive. Well, it came in today, I hooked
it up, and after a few gyrations it is working - kind of.
I can use "mplayer /dev/video0" to display the video, but nothing else
works with it - MythTV, tvtime, etc, etc... are a no-go. I can even do
the "cat /dev/video0 > blah.mpg", and I get a playable mpeg.
tvtime complains with:
ivtv: invalid argument
Cannot open capture device /dev/video0
...but I believe ivtv is working properly since I can "cat to an mpeg"
without errors.
When I click "Watch TV", the MythTV menus just "blip" for second then it
returns to the menu.
Ideas? Surely someone has seen this before.
Thanks,
Arpotu
