I have a PVR-150 in my home mythtv box, and with a bit of digging, I
think I've found the way to switch inputs -- v4l2-ctl. Under gentoo,
this a part of the media-tv/ivtv package.

mythtv mythtv # v4l2-ctl --list-inputs
ioctl: VIDIOC_ENUMINPUT
Input : 0
Name : Tuner 1
Type : 0x00000001
Audioset: 0x00000007
Tuner : 0x00000000
Standard: 0x0000000000001000 ( NTSC )
Status : 0

Input : 1
Name : S-Video 1
Type : 0x00000002
Audioset: 0x00000007
Tuner : 0x00000000
Standard: 0x0000000000FFFFFF ( PAL NTSC SECAM )

Input : 2
Name : Composite 1
Type : 0x00000002
Audioset: 0x00000007
Tuner : 0x00000000

mythtv mythtv # v4l2-ctl --get-input
Video input : 0 (Tuner 1)
mythtv mythtv # v4l2-ctl --set-input=1
Video input set to 1 (S-Video 1)

I haven't verified this, but it certainly looks like this is what you
need to switch the currently active input on the PVR-150.
