Hmm, there is another option which is to upgrade the whole video4linux part: get the master v4l-dvb repository here: http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/archive/tip.tar.bz2 Make a copy of /lib/modules/`uname -r` first, just in case. Then unpack, run 'make', then 'make install' as root and reboot. Now the whole v4l subsystem has been replaced with the latest and greatest. However, how also need a MythTV patch from Ian Armstrong that was recently posted to get MythTV working with the PVR-350 TV output since the API changed.
