I am also having the same problem with a pair of pvr-250s and a fresh
install of FC3. I am guessing its a ivtv issue since I cannot capture from
the video device manually.

cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg

works fine. It plays in mplayer no problem.

cat /dev/video1 > test.mpg

appears to work but nothing is captured. Looking at the output of dmesg
shows both cards are detected and installed.

I am thinking about rolling back to an earlier version ov ivtv to see if
that clears it up.

Same here. It coincided with an upgrade to 0.17 and upgrading the kernel to 2.6.10-1.14_FC2. I installed the ivtv-kmdl as well and ivtv appears to be loading properly. Let me know if the rollback works for you. Should I worry about this:
