I just purchased a used PVR-150 on ebay for my MythTV
box. I took one of the recordings from mythtv as well
as a recording from $cat /dev/video0 > /home/test.mpg.
I was able to open both of these using lives from
lives.sourceforge.net. I was able to see both video
and audio in lives.
Hope this helps.
