Which IC's are on the PCTV card ?

Very likely that lavrec wanted to set something suitabel for the other
zoran cards. And your card does not understand that.

I would guess that you have choosen the wrong input.
Can you watch the video in Linux with xawtv while you record from the
video card ?
Did the input change ? What happens when you choose another input
(p/P/t) Or the numeric inputs when you use the cvs version.
