sorry about the top posting ... bad habits!  ... here is the info for
your questions (below) ... pretty sure I have the latest stuff for
FC6.  I did a box upgrade from FC5 to FC6 and did everything again for
ivtv on Jarod's howto site.  I did an updatedb and then locate
ivtv-fb.ko before building that myself ... maybe a yum malfunction ...
dunno ...

In any case I think you answered my question.  PVR-350 TV-out support
is not available yet in mythtv using ATrpms packages (as it was in
FC5).  I just bought a scan converter on Ebay that I can hook up to
the VGA port on the mythbox PC ... hopefully it will work well enough
to keep the wife happy short term ...

will try the PVR-350 mythtv/TV-out route in the future (once full
ATrpms package support is there) depending on how the scan converter
works out ...
