I *know* I haven't completed my mythtv-setup properly. :-)
If you read the whole message you will see that I had some problems
with that.

Ok, this is probably the reason. How can I find out if the pvr250 port
supports this ioctl? any pointers to information?

If Greg's mythtv port becomes usable on amd64 with a PVR-350, I'm
planning on running a backend on FreeBSD. The reason for that is easy:
familiarity. I'm much more conformtable with FreeBSD than with the
KnoppMyth box I'm running (debian). Don't even get me started on Ubuntu.

I would laso like to have frontends on a feew of my FreeBSD machines -
that way it is easy to fire it up just to check something, or watvh the
news, or...
