[mythtv-users] PVR150 card on Mandriva 2005LE

Hello all... I've recently obtained a PVR150 card for my PC and its not working. My setup is Mandriva 2005LE with kernel 2.6.11-6mdk. I used the mandriva distribution RPM to install IVTV, myth, xawtv, etc. etc. All seem to find the devices just fine - but alas - no picture :-( Any help with
