After doing some searching, this appears to be a known problem with some motherboard/PVR combinations.While I'd love for my PVR-150 that I already paid for to work, I think that's a lost cause.

However, the only one that I saw that looks like it will work is a PVR-USB2, which apparently sometimes has the same issues with zero byte recordings, so I would prefer an alternative, as I suspect that I may one of those who would experience the issue.

What is the motherboard and ram ? What distro are you using? What 
kernel? It maybe something simple...There are lots of knowledgeable 
people on here..
The pvr-150 has to be the easiest card there is to set up...
Have you tried it outside of Myht?
I have been running 2 pvr-150's for 3 years with out a single problem...
