The Slackware + PVR-250 setup guide from
http://www.elsewhere.org/pvr/notes.html , among many other other locations,
indicates that a tuner module needs to be present, indicated by the "add
below ivtv .. tuner" line in /etc/modules.conf

Well the latest cvs build of ivtv does not produce or install a tuner.o, nor
does modprobe ivtv load and i2c modules. This is very odd as recent
mailings indicate required i2c support. Additionally, I get quite a few
i2c errors when doing a dmesg after any v4lconf command.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Tony

Just enable bttv support in the kernel, and you'll get these requirements.
