Not here, details of what I'm experiencing are identical to Leonard's:
   http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/ivtv/devel/24006

I've tried the very latest firmware as posted here:
   http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/ivtv/devel/25016

and tried ver 0x02040011 per dmesg. Same results.

After I get my sources/repos working right again, I'll try backing down 
to 0.2 drivers and post findings on ivtv-devel where the rest of this 
topic belongs :)

Reinstalled apt, ran an update, tried above, received:

I knew that and since I only plan to use this machine to run prepackaged 
Myth from ATRPMS, I backed out synaptic and apt immediately. Should I be 
reading between the lines here and revert strictly to using apt?

I'm still interested in thoughts about items a) and b) above. At the 
risk of sounding ungrateful -- I am *extremely* appreciative of anyone, 
especially you, for helping the community for no pay -- but the 
suggestions you provided did not answer my questions :)

Of course. Problems won't get solved unless they get discussed.

Thank you likewise.
