The answers(s) are probably delayed, because of the holiday season.

The problem is in the driver (ie. the pvr250 port). It needs to be
fixed to include the necessary ioctls.
I'm still waiting for hints on how to go about fixing it.

Or you could use another driver, if one was available. I know usleep
have support for pvr-250 / 350 cards as a goal for the pvrxx driver,
but it just isn't there yet.

Not surprising since the Linux driver (ivtv) has a v4l / v4l2 api,
which I assume is complete.
