   Bookmarked for future ref., thanks :)


   Yes, the vanilla kernel + v4l (and no ivtv kmdl) is doing the trick for 
me;  I had just gotten used to not having to reboot when fiddling with RPMs 
and kmdls, so it was odd to find a situation (I still don't understand!) 
that required a reboot to sanitise.  Hey ho.

   It was nice being able to pull the latest RPMs down for 0.23.1 for the 
first time in a while;  the past couple of years I've been having to 
recompile myself.  I failed miserably to get the necessary deps built for my 
old FC5 box, it was just too out of date.

   Thanks Axel!


   FWIW, I don't use the analogue tuner part of my PVR-350;  I just use the 
s-video in (and I've not had to fiddle with that in Myth for a while;  they 
must've changed the names as I don't recall having to choose between oddly 
names inputs, ISTRT they were right then.  Nomatter).

   I have a TVB-T card for terrestrial, and have an RGB->s-video converter 
to convert my Sky box output into s-video for the PVR-350.  Works a treat, 
with a really nice picture.  (actually, I have a feeling they're slightly 
degrading the performance of the non-HD channels recently;  could be that, 
my converter box getting old, or my imaginations ...)
