Ok, I am confused. I got the above card and it works great in Windows, 
however, Windows is not my preferred desktop.

So, I went on a quest to install it under Arch. Well, getting the ivtv driver 
and firmware was not all that hard to do, however, the ivtv version in pacman 
must have been outdated because it didn't work ;).

Anyway, now that I have the drivers all setup I can do an mplayer /dev/video0 
and change channels with ivtv-tune, however, I am not able to get any of the 
common apps to work; like tvtime, kdetv, xawtv or anything. They all complain 
about the output of /dev/video0 or other issues. Tvtime says ivtv:invalid 
argument.

I cant even get MythTV to work (Using the wiki) due to some missing lib file 
(mythtv-setup: error while loading shared libraries: libI810XvMC.so.1) which 
I cant find anyware.

Also, I cant recompile MythTV because of a ton of missing perl files or 
something along those lines.

Sheesh, all I want to do is watch TV at my desktop without having to issue a 
ton of CLI commands to change channels.

Does ANYONE have ANY idea how I can accomplish this?

Thanks!!!

Joe
