Yes, it's definately worth checking that...

Perhaps check the readme with the PVR250 driver, but the Kfir card at least 
always uses APID 80 and VPID 160, for no other reason than 'it does' :)

Andreas really has nothing to do with this, because his plugin is exclusively 
for low-end analogue 'WinTV' cards that provide a raw uncompressed picture 
at /dev/video wheras the PVR card is providing pre-compressed MPEG2 data.... 
I'd say that the analogtv plugin actually /shouldn't/ support the PVR250, but 
rather a modification of the 'sky' plugin :)

Cheers,
Gavin.
