Hi All,
First,thanks Torfinn Ingolfsen for the pci TV-card info tips, and  for 
heading me in the right direction.

I tried installing the newer 
http://usleepless.110mb.com/pvrxxx_port-01042007.tgz from usleep,
and it seemed to install some updates, sorry I didn't get the complete 
"make" output at that time,
but the last several output lines gave me the same errors as "Anders 
Troback" got from his subject thread
"Re: pvrxxx 0x75"
-at this point I cleaned up my pvr ports; and installed the pvr250 port 
according to
Jim Stapleton's reply to Anders's subject above. I have a newer pvr-350 too.
sorry about these threads gettin' a little messy now

anyway, for the first time I've been able to load the cxm drivers,..

I found a couple strange things;

pv | grep pvr
0B 0:12:56 [   0B/s ] [<=>                                                   
           ]
the output just sits there?
and,
when I run "cat /dev/cxm0 > filneame.mpg" i get
"cxm0: video decoder isn't locked" in /var/log/messages
?

-but everything else looks sane (see below)
Is there something else I can try to do. ?
