For the life of me this card would not work with any of the drivers I could find.

PVR-250 980 Chip: CX23416
Info from lspci:
0000:01:06.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc iTVC16 (CX23416) MPEG-2 Encoder (rev 01)

ivtv v. 0.1.9 did not work at all. I got 1 channel on 2-6 (ABC Family, so I got to see full house will troubleshooting :shock: ).

I tried 0.3.3rc and 0.3.7 which worked, but with debug set at 0 and 1 it filled the logs with IRQ conflicts and / was quickly at 100% full if I used the TV.

Using ivtv-0.2.0-rc3j it will work with the following config flawlessly:

Code:
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c
options ivtv ivtv_debug=1 tda9887=0 cardtype=1
options tuner type=39
options msp3400 once=1 simple=1
install ivtv /sbin/modprobe tuner; /sbin/modprobe msp3400; /sbin/modprobe saa7115;  /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install  ivtv
remove ivtv /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove ivtv && /sbin/modprobe -r saa7115 && /sbin/modprobe -r msp3400 && /sbin/modprobe -r tuner


tveeprom still is not detecting the card properly, but cardtype=1 defines it, so I seem to have no issues there.

Just though I would add this as previous solutions did not work for me.

EDIT: It is working great with ONLY tuner=39 passed as an option. I have since tried the new 0.3 snapshot and it is still giving me issues. None of the versions are autodetecting (tveeprom or ivtv). However, specifying the options manually works great.

You need to become root, usually by using the "su" command:
Code:
su -
and entering the root password. Then you should be able to edit /etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv appropriately.

BTW - DO NOT DO THIS BLINDLY!!! If the driver isn't detecting your card type you probably need a new driver. Setting the type to 39 will NOT work if you have a different tuner chip on your card. Also just because the cards are the same model DOES NOT mean they have the same tuner type!
